I’m doing fine. Back in Canada because of Covid. I’m probably stuck here for another year at least, too. It’s no hardship. I love Vancouver. I just wish I could go back to my old life of half the year here, half the year in South America.
Congratulations on the house! And car, I suppose, but the house is much more exciting.
I hope to see you here when you can but be aware that this place is quite weird right now. Bill Lowerre has returned and he’s heckling most posts. He has some severe mental issues. I have him on ignore but if you choose to not do that, just be aware that your posts might get heckled.
Who is Bill? A parkbencher or just a heckler in general.
You were in Columbia, yes?
I saw in an earlier post you were asking about my time in Japan. I spent 5 months there a few years ago. Haven’t been able to go back. The help I was promised with child care wise from family members was rescinded.
When the kids are a bit older maybe I can transfer out there for a few years. We’ll see.
Bill was on Park Bench under many names. He is mentally ill so I don’t blame him for acting the way he does. He hasn’t had a good life and his behaviour is understandable, if irritating. He currently has some nic with “heckler” in it. I don’t generally see it as I have him on ignore but the site tells shows me there are x hidden posts in most threads (and those are always from people you have on ignore).
Nico (thinkingaboutit) is here. Vincent (PrinceDisarming) hasn’t been here for years. He made some references to some health issues so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was dead, too. Dan (Nickscafe) is still here as is Michele (AgeofGrace). The site is quiet these days but I hope it will return, not to the old levels, but just to a slightly higher level of activity.
Unfortunate about Japan. At least you made it there for awhile. An exciting time. Covid is throwing wrenches in a lot of those dreams these days.
EDIT: Yes, I was in Colombia. Wonderful years. Hopefully not over yet.
For those who remember Lee from the Zone and BBAD’s early years, Trevor told me that his FB page is in Obituary Mode. I can’t see it as I wasn’t his friend on FB. That means Lee is likely dead. May he rest in peace.
