Not easy to recap almost a year in one post, and I've been know to drag on and on for the longest of them, so I'll be brief here.
I'm working as a network manager for a consultancy firm 20 min. away from my place which just opened up a second storefront and is hiring like mad.
My wife's health is stable and her doctor is now wondering if she ever had Lupus in the first place.
My son entered high school in September, my daughter is 9 going on 18 fast. I've started looking at rifles.
Most of my free time is spent on my favorite MMORPG, City of Heroes, and managing a website for the supergroup (guild or clan) that some will remember a few old school WD members started way back. I also still lead a youth group and have switched my learning time to IT certs for this year.
Soooooo... what did I miss?

nice to see you again adept. for a man who mastered the art of saying virtually nothing over and over again (wotpp), that post sure summed things up nicely.
you haven't missed a ton here, the usual little spats and some techie talk, that's about it.

Hail and well met, Adept-one! Gratz on all the good news, especially on the Lupus remission/disappearance!
Having only had boys to raise, I can only suggest electrified fences and cattle prods to deal with your daughter's "suitors". It doesn't seem possible they can grow up so quickly. Best of everything to you and your family!
I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.

I had some posts in the bank already saved up, so in effect I'm still ahead.
