Last time I had any contact with Brian he was going through some changes. Switching, IIRC, from working for a medical group to private practice. He may have been moving as well. Hope he's ok and just too busy to get on and chew the fat here.

I asked me the same question, Raven, several times. I hope life is running well for Brian.

I've been in touch with Brian, he's doing well. Just been quite busy. I believe he still lurks now and then when he has a moment. I'm sure he'll appreciate everyone's concern. :)

Thank you Raven for raising the question.
Thank you Kristi for the update.
Brian is one of the old timers I was definitely missing.
I'm really glad he is OK.

Ahhh Good! Based on what he told me privately, a few years ago, this is exactly what he needed.


Good luck Brian, where ever you are. Hope you come back soon. :)

I hope Jaislandboy does indeed come back home to Spyderville soon :) . I always enjoyed his posts and most importantly he agreed with me most of the time :D

He was a huge contributor to the big Hawkbill thread and you could probably say he was one of the founding fathers of the Superhawk :cool: :D

A truly good citizen of Spyderville. I hope he returns soon.

Thanks for the kind words/thoughts from everyone. I have taken some time off the forums to get my personal life "back together" again (messy divorce). I realized that my prior posting had become very negativistic and perhaps offensive to some (for which i apologize, especially to Bolstermanic) and I needed to take some "time out" in a corner for a while to get my head straight :o
Thanks again, Tazkristi for "checking up" on me ;)
Happy Easter to all :)
