Dear deviant friends who still remember me fondly, or who at least don't want to kick me in the groin, or who might want to kick me in the groin, but only in a friendly way, Like all of us, I have so little time to spend online these days that I can't possibly hope to keep up with all the interesting things I'd like to keep up with. My art projects have suffered from my lack of time, and my presence on dA has become more of a memory than an ongoing concern. Friends send me funny links and interesting pictures. My RSS feeds would take hours to go through, if I could spend that much time at them every day. Toss in my regular email input, some

I've been on Facebook for a couple of years now...almost since the very beginning.  I pretty much hated it from the start...being a solitary old curmudgeon means you try to avoid new social entanglements, not seek them out...and FB was just a wee bit too personal for me. I have to admit that I have finally given it a fair shake and I'm hooked.  Maybe it's because of the vast majority of formerly computer-illiterate folks from my past who are finally catching on to the use of the PC in their real lives, or maybe it's just because I can spend only a few minutes at a time online and FB makes it count. I have been getting in touch with friends,

Wow.  How long has it been?  Have I been inactive, or did I just drop dead? No.  Neither, really. Sorry to have been gone so long, dear friends.  I've been devoting my precious time to offline endeavors, including working in my garden and soaking up some sun.  I'm approaching the second anniversary of my medical disability soon, and I have been trying to adjust to my new life as much as possible. It takes me much longer than a normally-enabled person to accomplish things, but to me that just makes each project more precious.  As a good example, I bought some redwood lumber and built an 8-foot by 4-foot raised garden bed for my backyard and

...HEY, BUT YOU WERE HERE THEN!!!!!.... :dance: :boogie: :iconbluemoodplz: :icondoggyplz: :heart:
Just dropped in to find some pretty new artwork to use as a background for my iPad...and naturally I chose a beautiful painting by my dear friend Altergromit! Hope you are well, my dear friend! Thanks for noticing!

Love,

Bill
...Well, I saw you changed your name! That's why I saw you were here!! :aww: :love:
I'm fine, life gives me some worry but I'm fine! :aww:
How is my favorite Bill? :aww: How life goes? ...Following the waves? :aww: ;) You know I'm in Facebook too, but honestly I don't go there so much, I cannot say I'm a "fan" of it... :hug: :heart:
Oh, goodness! It takes me far too long to reply to messages on dA. I feel so bad about it...but only when it's you. I have been so busy with my funny website at Cobwebs in the Wine Cellar that it takes all my computing time. It's not that it is so hard, but even after being disabled for more than five years now, it is still so very hard for me to type. That is why I save it for special occasions, like communicating with my dear Anna!

As you can tell, not much has changed for me, but I try to keep my spirits up, and hearing from my dear friends every now and then helps me keep a smile on my face.

So take care, and remember that I think of you often and smile every time!
