Always there with a good bit of common sense and advice I've watched as his own craft has blossomed and taken off. I've missed seeing him around the scene and wondered what he's been up to. I'm very chagrined to learn that life has put the bite on my virtual pal, but know him to be a tough sod who'll kick it in the balls soon enough.
