Finally . . . I'm back

[bigtree]

Like it or not folks . . . I'm back online at home and ready to stick my nose back into the discussions here full time. It's been about a year without a home internet connection so I'm a bit rusty and out-of-touch. I'm going to work hard to get up to speed on the issues and concerns of our progressive community and I hope to be an asset to the advocacy and activism efforts here in the coming months before the next presidential election.

As always, it's a pleasure to associate myself with the dedicated and informed folks here, and I look forward to many more spirited and enlightening engagements with DUers in the future. Cheers!

I was the same way. It's sobering to me just how much time has passed since I was connected at home and how little about the world and national events I've been able to learn about and understand without this connection. Better days . . .! :hi:
