(OOC) I have always loved you two. Sorry I haven't said it before. Too busy playing Pennys.
Just want to share, that though retired from the army reserves, I was called back after the war started more than once. The last time, I was wounded severely in 2006 in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan.
To think, I wasn't even really in the army any more. After all those years, and so many conflicts, I had to be hurt this time, while old. No years to truly let the emotions subside, and just spend time rocking in a chair on my front porch.
Anyways, it was this last time, that Penny was born. While in hospital, my daughters brought me a laptop, and introduced me to UO.
I had a lot of downtime while recovering to play.
Suffice to say, I came to love this game. I came to love, in particular, so many players.
I am sorry we have never met.
But don't ever, ever believe that I didn't recognize you. For, being the person I am, I was watching.
As Robert Duvall said in "Apocalypse Now," ....Some day this war is going to end.
So will this game.
Before it does, just wanted to say I love this world I share with you all.
*Penny pushes his way back in...*
Now back to trying to gets meeself banned.....*winks*
