I wonder how many of you have even been around long enough to remember me, though I see quite a few familiar usernames in the forum!
I've been away for a very long time now, basically after having a second child, on top of being a full time teacher, ate up any remaining free time for me to stay abreast of all that is Usagi. I haven't even pulled out the back issues in several years (gasp!). Life's been great to me, but I've been a very bad Dojo member.
I guess keeping up on all that's been happening with Stan's family on facebook as of late has put the Dojo back in the forefront of my mind. I miss you guys and wanted to stop in to say "Hi!" I need to do so more often.
More importantly, though, I want to thank all of you who have been so diligently supporting Stan and rallying other fans into supporting him in this time of need, both emotionally and financially. Steve, Todd, Mayhem, Maka, roel, and anyone else I may have inadvertently missed (or who I don't know from "the old days"), thank you for all you've done for Stan and for this community. He so definitely deserves it.
See some of you at Motor City Comicon this May?
(I don't think I'll ever get over the embarrassment of having Stan stuck there with us while they worked out the check at the Cherry Blossum all those years back!!)
