Dear Andy,
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks a lot for letting the slow, husky kid play for as many minutes as you could.
RIP Sir.

Mr. Bill Karner

Merry Christmas from HQ!

A White Christmas indeed!.

A group that actually cares about the welfare of one another.

Priceless.

May this coming year bring you even stronger bonds.

Thanks for coming!

My very best to all of you. Don ❤️

Great weather makes everything better.
Now doesn't it.
Once upon a time, as a consequence of a simple yearning for the party of the century, and owing to a wonderful childhood friend who offered, and whom I could not ever say no to, eventually, by default, I somehow became the defacto party in chief, head of obits, etc, of the VMCI scene. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Love it. Love it all.
How is that for a run-on sentence Mr. John Strebig?
Thing is, loving it as we both do, lol, sadly, and most unfortunately neither Susan nor I, have any bandwidth... in our lives for the organization of another reunion. 😉
But hey... be advised that this does not mean that we wouldn't be wholly down for be feeling like crap for a whole week after another one. Run by some absolute idiot. Much more likely, and advisedly so, a whole group of fu***ng idiots who wish to volunteer to facilitate this!

(Forgive me Norma, my inner Etobicoke sometimes slips out)
LMAO.
WE CLEAR?
OH YEAH!!!
WE WOULD LOVE TO GO TO ANOTHER ONE!
Us running it? 🤣 hell no!
Perhaps some of you may... muse amongst yourselves first to cut down on my email traffic? 🤣

I'll make a fine consultant. I'll happily sit back and advise on this with any of the phychologically disenfranchised fools amongst you who may wish to do this.

That'd be the Message Centre...have at it.

Caveat Emptor.

Thanks 😆

Hello Massey

They say you can never go back. And it's true. Happened to be in the old hood today.

1982
How many can we tag?

Thanks Norma and Maureen
My wife will love these ;)
Perhaps in the Living Room.
