After almost a year of keeping my distance, I began browsing EH a matter of weeks ago. Last night I decided the time was right to take the plunge.
Many thanks to Dirk and to the kind person who mediated for me. (My, that classical thread does look rather tempting!)

Nice to re-make your acquaintance John. It's odd to see 'jk' and 'grommet' next to each other but I guess that situation won't last too long Are you having a typical Netherlands winter, getting in plenty of downhill skiing in those towering Dutch mountains?

Hello Peter. Yes it's been a while. Well, there's this cold wind (blame Dennis) but it's not cold enough here for snow. That suits me fine--once it gets slippery, jk is inevitably the first to go crashing on his ass. Actually, it's odd to see "jk" and "grommet" in a sentence, but I digress. i hope you're back on track soon health-wise.

For those wondering about my avatar (and about me), perhaps I should explain: Close to a year ago, I left here voluntarily because of a clash of loyalties. Since then I have closed a door and moved on. I hope I didn't offend anyone at the time. If so, it was unintentional and I do apologize. Edit: On a more upbeat note, at least I can celebrate Mikie's birthday this year.

Welcome back, John. Not sure if you have to be "loyal" to one board or another, but it's good to have you back here. Pull up a chair and stay a little longer this time, eh? Oh yeah, don't forget! My birthday is on 9/25/2020!

My birthday is on 9/25/2020! Hi Mikie. It was a personal thing that caused me to leave last March. A bit unfortunate but life can be incorrigibly strange at times. I would still have been here if not for that... Anyway, I've swapped my sackcloth-and-ashes avatar for what I believe is the only known portrait of Dieterich Buxtehude, my most recent musical discovery. I remember a humorous run-in with you at PSF when you suggested I shouldn't forget your birthday. So it's been in my diary ever since! While on the subject, it's heart-warming to see filledeplage handling the birthday duties with aplomb.

Thank you--yes, I'm glad to be back too. Although I should be welcoming you back as well: you've been away almost as long as I have! I hope you're doing okay.

I'm doing great, thanks!
I haven't visited the forum in a while because by interest in the BBs has waned, and I have other interests and activities. I don't have enough time for everything!

That's fair enough. It's good to hear you're keeping yourself busy. As long as you're doing great--that's what counts at the end of the day.

Always welcome - already good to have you back JK. I only saw this today (not paying attention again). Thanks, John. I hope you and your son have shaken off those coughs.
