Well I'll be...
Hi kids, I've been away for a while and will probably be away again. Some long soul searching lead me to not update the page, but I intended to leave everything up so folks could always see the "lighter side" (if you will) of tickling.
Now it seems that Tripod and Yahoo! have deleted all my files. My apologies as I did not know that had happened, however I have no way of recreating the pictures.
Many times before I've left and always ended up back, but I don't think I can ever go back to the way I was. Tickling is part of my very essence...but there are other things in life that are of equal or greater importance and they have moved into the fore front of my life.
Now don't panic, its nothing life threatening and in all actuality my life is better than it has been in a long time and I am quite healthy and happy LOL. I would have posted a long emotional farewell note...but I've done that before only to come crawling back when the bug bit me again. I have checked out some places and occasionally remember to check my email so I'll probably always be around...perhaps in a new form/identity...but only time will tell.
To the keeps of the board: You have a wonderful tool here...use it wisely.
To the friends I have made: Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives and for helping me continue to grow as a person.
To everyone else: Enjoy what you have when you have it. Things change...usually when you least expect it.
Keep on tickling and perhaps we will meet again sometime.
Thanks.
