Hi everyone,

It's been a while and I'm sure most of you don't remember me, but I do remember a lot of you. For some reason I can't log in with my old name (DanceWithoutMe) but I decided it would be nice for an "upgrade" of sorts regardless. Becca, Trudes, Lara, Bill, etc. whatever ). I'm finished with school, finally, totally and completely (with the exception of some final coursework) and I'm doing the job hunt thing right now. Winding down just to wind up again - just put a wire spring on me and stuff me in a box! I absolutely have no idea (geographically) where I'll be in the next few months - though Chicago, Atlanta, Columbus, or Cincinnati may be future places of habitation. We'll see.

I will miss West Lafayette, but not as much as I have with a lot of y'all . Here's to some wonderful change and coming back to a great, great forum.



Thom

welcome back. it is nice to have you around again.

Welcome back!

welcome back. good to *see* you again.

Hey Thom! Great to see you here again.

Just so ya know you weren't forgotten...

Welcome back...its fun to re-emerge!

If you come to Chicago let me know, I'd be happy to show you around

I'd be happy to as well. Chicago is an awesome place when it gets above freezing.

Awwwh shucks guys!

Keith! It's nice to see that you're still here! Walrus! hi! Tal, hi! Everyone's still here! It feels good to know you've been missed as much as you've missed those who've missed you. Rach - I might just have to take you up on Chicago. I've been up there quite a few times, but each time I've bought a Day Pass and rode the trains and relied on strangers for directions. Fun, but having a fellow Rhinelander would be more fun.

Speaking of the cold. I'm just 120 miles away from Chicago and it's FREEZING. It was 75 yesterday and this morning it snowed. Insanity!

You would be more then welcome We even have a futon...and I should mention about to have a newborn

welcome back, thom.

good job on finishing school and such. good luck with the search!

HI! And thanks for the wishes.

There's been so much more that has happened. I'm sure it will all come out eventually.

Awwwh! Congrats!

hi thom! you might not remember me (i was a newbie when you left), but i remember you... and so glad you're back!

Hi Thom,
So glad to see you back. Congrats on the school wrap. Good luck with the hunt. Maybe one day we will meet in person.
Give us some more of that beautiful poetry when you have a chance.
Txo
