tsw 8.5

It was nice to meet you and all the other clan members as well. 

A great evening with some wonderful people.

Ive been a Senior Admin working with Rugger for 18 years, hes been here 20 years and I finally met him in the UK on the 9th May 2025.
It was fantastic to meet him and his family and friends in Lyme Regis Dorset UK.
We had a great night remeniscing everything we've had to deal with in >XI< over all those years......I don't think anyone would believe the stuff we've dealt with and the hard work we've put in to keep this clan going.
we spoke of so many members who are still here.those who left and those who have sadly passed.
It was an honour to meet Rugger and I would not have missed the opportunity to meet this legend.
I also  met Sittin Duc and his mates,Edd The Duck and his wife also,Totty and NinjaBazZa ...what a great bunch of people.
If any of you guys want to upload your pics here too it would be great.
Best Regards
ROCKAPE>XI<

to inform you that my wife of almost 32 years passed away on April 22nd after our long battle with lung cancer. She was laid to rest this past Saturday, April 26th. She was originally diagnosed in 2017, and in August that year had her right lung's upper lobe removed. She was good after that surgery for over four years, and in fact returned to work for a time and attended two XI Fest - the one in Niagara Falls, five or six weeks after her surgery in 2017 and the Fest in South Carolina in 2019. In 2019, Wildthing even arranged a birthday cake for her and we celebrated, since the S. C. Fest was during her birthday weekend! She also attended the Gatlinburg Fest in 2016 (her favorite one, though she loved them all)! She loved to travel, so always on board for the Fest. But ultimately, the Chemo and Radiation was not working, and you can take only so much of both. We knew it was coming, and she was on full time oxygen and on a lot of pain medications and last six months, but her passing has been difficult nonetheless. Our two sons are still at home with me, so we are staying busy and are adjusting to living without our lady in the house. 😢

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful Easter and think of the people who are not as lucky to celebrate for whatever reason! 🙂 

Have you missed me?? don't lie of course you haven't, but ol Rob's still alive and kicking (just), over the three score and ten with enough things wrong to fill a book. Haven't played with anyone since I left, just myself (apparently good for the prostate), and have given up gaming altogether, I was rubbish anyway, even Rugger could beat me. Came back to post a joke the old timers will love, so hope you all enjoy it. Just employed a new eastern European cleaner, took her 12 hours to clean the house, I think she was a Slovac.
I'm almost a full time babysitter for my two grandsons now, best job I've ever had, little fckers are cleverer than me?
So hope you're all well and healthy, and to all the girls I converted to the Viking religion so when I arrive in Valhalla all you young virgins will be waiting for me - oh hold on?
