Haven't Been Around that much lately

[Yooch]

Dear SO friends, I've been so busy at work--late Aug./early Sept. that I haven't been able to log on that much, once maybe twice a week at most, and I'm on the road commuting to and from work a total of 10 hours a week, so I'm pretty beat when I get home at night.

I only wanted to mention this in case any of you who knew about my wife's health problem last winter might be worrying why I haven't been on SO that much. Actually, my wife is doing fine, and much better than expected.

The other reason for this thread is that I enjoy wishing people happy birthdays, and undoubtedly I've missed several, not having been posting much lately. If I have overlooked anyone, I apologize; no slight was intended on my part. I try to post on as many birthday threads as I can, even if it's a quick greeting.

This, as you can imagine, is one of the busiest times of the year for my work (I teach). I just wanted you all to know that I am still here, and keep all of you in my thoughts, and will post as time allows.

Good to hear you and your wife is ok. I was wondering the other day what happened to you.:wave:

Hi Stranger! I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how things are going. I'm glad things are working out for you! I too haven't posted much this summer because between camping and some family problems I really haven't had the time. So glad that you updated us as I know a lot of us care and are concerned for you. Happy Labor Day!:wave:

Hi Gene. I'm glad you updated everyone on you and your wife. As you know, I'm just thrilled that your wife is on the mend, and is recovering great. I can't imagine why a teacher would be so busy this time of year. :lol:

Seriously, you remind me of a High School teacher I had and adored. He taught us the curriculum, but taught us about life as well. Something tells me you do that as well. :)

I'm really happy that your wife is better, Gene. And I hope you're able to get more free time soon, as you ae one of the nicest people I know, both online and offline. :)

Good luck, Gene. :) I'm very happy to hear about your wife. I didn't know that you are a teacher. I repect teachers or anyone who works with students a great deal. I work with students and know how difficult it can be.

Thanks, guys, all of you, for your kind words and true friendship. It's funny, I never met you in person, yet I feel a strong connection with you. God bless you all!

Glad things are going well for you & your wife. That commute you mentioned sounds rough.
