Good afternoon everyone!

I joined here in April 2008 and introduced myself. I just looked at that introduction as I was thinking of just replying to it to revive it.

I had planned to be more active than I was here but I let many things get in the way. I have returned and plan to participate more here. Hopefully I fit in and can find things to say.

I am going to reintroduce myself.

My name is Robert. I still live at the same place in Virginia. I am divorced and have custody of my four children who live with me. Willem is the oldest (15 and a half), Adonis is 12 and a half, Liem is 11 and a half, and Sharleen is 10.

I am working on a fantasy novel that I plan to self publish once finished and hope to change my career from being an SQL Programmer to a writer. For now I plan to remain at my day job as long as I can until I start bringing in enough money selling books.

Last night and the night before we played with our Lego bricks. We have a number of buildings, vehicles, and space ship/fighters. These play times have likely been some of the happier moments we've had recently.

We also play multi player computer games together from time to time and other times just play computer games individually.

We usually go camping once or twice a year.

I'm glad to be back and hope to become friends with many of you here.

Hello and welcome. :)

[ZionsRodeVos]

Thanks for the welcomes.

We got about a fourth of an inch of snow and the schools are closed for the day because of it. Not all the side streets were plowed and I did slide a little while driving so this helps me to understand but I often fail to understand how so little snow can close down all the schools in a county. Plus, I grew up in Utah and I never remember schools closing when it snowed.
