tsw 8.5

Who woulda thought that like 20 years ago near I would hop into a server and stick around this long? 
 
It has been an amazing time with you all, but like all things, some things find a finish.
I am going to be stepping away from gaming for a while, maybe forever, who knows. I just feel the push and pull of other aspects of life knocking.
I will always cherish my time here as an XI member. Have made some life long friendships that will continue no matter where in life I end up.
It has been a blast all
 
Stormy out!

Hello XI fam,
 
My mother in law passed away yesterday. We learned of the news around 6:00pm pacific time. I was close to her too and this is a difficult time for our family. The kids are grieving, having lost their grandma.  We take some comfort in knowing that she passed way peacefully while in prayer. 

I'll be away for a bit, but not sure how long. 
 
Thank you for reading.

Heard many times - "Enjoy - life goes by very quickly". Never really thought about it much till now. Boy is that true.
Seems like yesterday I was playing stick ball on the streets of the Bronx where I grew up (my game name TBB - The Bronx Bomber). Family moved to Paramus, NJ in '56.   It became known as a shopping center hub. Back then there were no shopping centers - no garden State Parkway, no high school. I was in the 4th graduating class of Paramus High School. We had our 60th reunion two years ago. From there graduated from Rutgers. Then spent 4 years getting graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. 
Spent 35 years designing and developing computer systems. After that taught math at a local college for 8 years then retired.
Bought my house in '76 - got married in '80 - my son was born in '90 - my wife passed 2012 - been with my girlfriend since 2015.
Been hanging out with a bunch of >IDIOTS< since 2010. Thanks @Ruggerxi for establishing this group. Spent many fun hours here getting to know the crew - to name a few - @loaderXI @BUDMAN  @LtLaszlo @Icequeen @WldPenguin @major-mark63  
@PimpedOutPete @jointz @bds1961 @BigPapaDean  @FRENCHI  @google  @HarryWeezer @Joe Canadian
Below pictures of my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and one of my son.  Will be revisiting this when I turn 90.  So enjoy - life goes by in a blink!!!!
