I was at Life University in Marietta, Georgia last night watching my wife run in her first 5K and I got an email from Big E telling me that he is back in town.
.
I won't go into great detail but he is up and around but he still has a long way to go for a full recovery but the doctors put Humpty Dumpty together again.
.
I will leave it at that and maybe he will come on and give a update. Anyway he is back at his apartment in Acworth.
Hoping I have the reply function figured out. Hey, I'm a Land Surveyor, what could possibly go wrong?
Anyway, I'm very happy to hear of the Eric sighting. I've always been a fan of his and loved to hear of his amazing life and adventures. Good guy, for sure.
As an aside, and this is something I've asked about before to other posters: since you're both in Georgia (I don't recall if Eric is actually from Georgia), do you (all) talk the same? Seriously, we talk to each other all the time here on Beer Leg by typing, but how many regional dialects there must be among us is fascinating to think about. I'm from the U.P. But you wouldn??t know it now. I've lived in California so long I speak like a native. Did you detect the Spanish influence there? O.K., the Mi-Wuks, etal, preceded the Spanish, but I'll move on.
I'd love to hear Nate's real voice,
or Mike Berry's
Or Brad's
or Fla/Ga's,
etc.
Not so sure about Fleming, though. Whatever his dialect, I'm sure he'd just insult me in an Oscar Wilde kind of way and I wouldn??t even know it.
I'm really enjoying retirement, BTW.

Thread hijack from an already hijacked thread:
?ÿI'm really enjoying retirement, BTW.
?ÿWeren't you going to write a book when you retired??ÿ How's that going??ÿ I haven't been following that forum where we ran into each other, but still moderate the local critique group
Well shit, another d@med yankee.
"Y'all" can be singular and plural but for the more cultured and learned folks the proper phrase would be "All y'all" if you're addressing a group of people and y'all if it is a few of less.
I guess ya might say I kinda talk like a southern hillbilly.
Well, that doesn??t surprise me a bit, Steve, the way y'all talk and all. I remember the old P&R days when we used to be able to say what we really thought about each other. You were a little misguided as I recall.
But, as I've related before, the best advice I've ever received was from a gentleman in a Southern bar, and though his words were nearly unintelligible to a native English speaker, I heeded them: "You better get your ass out of here, hippie!"

Steve, I tried to remove this stupid post, actually the one before it, could 't figure out how to do it, sorry.

I had to learn me some sort of Yankee vernacular so I could understand Yankee developers in a meetin'. Of course I learnt them stuf about southern speak too. 😉
