I am afraid I won't be able to continue any group stories.  My life has taken a turn for the better, though that requires two jobs at the moment and on my few days off from one or the other I have been packing for a move out of state coming up.  I do not foresee a great amount of time at the computer however as I spent most of my time sitting here for a lack of other things to do in my life, and that has changed.  Will I be back in the future?  I do not know, so I'd like to ask that you write out my part, find someone else to cover it, or just ignore my post.  I do apologize to anyone that feels I've wasted their time.   I do have a few 1v1 posts I'd like to try to continue, but that will be at a later time as well.  Thank you to all that allowed me to write with them and I hope the New Year gives you all that you desire.
