my buddy left my team(wont mention any names).  He gave the team credibility and a face.  Now is not with us.  Guess I piss everyone off.  When I start pissing off my friends, its time to go.  My gold is up in a month, I wont renew, and this is the final time I will be posting, for I have played my final game.  Thanks for everything.  Farewell.  

P.S.  If anyone wants to speak with me take the jarsma63 and add yahoo.com to it----its the only way you will be able to reach me know.  Diabling account now.

Just taking a moment to thank all of you who have sent cards and e-mails on this occasion.  Its nice to know I have some dear friends on this site.  Thank you all again.

Well cupid has left the building for another year.  Hope all had an arrow blast them this year.  Odd year----actually ended up with a date----which I didnt expect, but I am not complaining.  Now its time to move forward on life fronts, and see what is in the cards.  If you didnt know---I get older on Sunday----The AARP creeps ever so much closer...birthdays are no big deal anymore.  I stopped celebrating them.  Just go find the best restaurant with a good freebie.  Thats it.  Have a great couple of days-----work will keep  me away.

I read the comments---thank you for the support.  You people are right, why should I be the one to leave when I am not at fault?  This is my entertainment, not anyone elses, and why should I have that taken away from me.   Screw the sabbatical----and anyone who doesnt like my decisions.  IM BACK---and with a  PURPOSE.  Can't leave my team hanging---why should I penalize them when none of them are involved in the frst place?  Thanks to my team, the Rebels, and the Polloi for the unwavering support.  Gats, I'm back.  NO ONE is going to drive me away......

There have been some issues here and I am caught in the middle of them.  It has really tempered my desire to play these games.  I need to step back and reassess a lot of things.  Tired of some of the sniping at me and why I choose to do the things that I do.  This is supposed to be fun, right?  Right now the fun has been taken away from me.  Maybe if I just leave for a little while, maybe I will enjoy it again.  Team just keep playing and have fun---Gats monitor the team for me.  Its time for a sabbatical.
