Let me reintroduce myself...I come here for community. I am said by some to be a wonderful friend, husband and father. I also have a place in my heart where I feel so passionately about something that I can't let it go. I react, and I overreact. I love and I love well. I am generally a peaceful man. As I tell my wife, "I will disappoint you at times, I guarantee this, but know that is NOT the intention of my heart". I stumble with my words and actions and I hurt people and get hurt by others.

I have had a couple of profiles here "bucknersfolly" was the first, but when the Red Sox won their first Series I had the Drew change it to Nixonsdouble. Nixonsdouble is gone now and in the past. When I got the message about a fellow listee passing the emotions that were here on this board as well as the new old e-mail list was heart tearing. This along with the recent birth of my first baby girl made me remember that I actually enjoy the community that is here for the good and the bad of it. I didn't want the even casual people I have corresponded with over the past almost 10 years now to slip by me, or for me to slip by them. So I am back and I am barry.

So yes I am back, I still love the Sox (2 Series now how about that). I still love music, books and cheesy TV. I love Jesus and my family and friends and I will disappoint you and them at some point, but this is not the intention of my heart.

Out here,
barry

Welcome back, Barry.

Hey Barry. Welcome back!

Good to have you back, Barry!

Hey Barry! It's only taken me, oh... four years... to be active here at all (tough transition from email list to Forums for me...), so I guess I'm coming "back" (to a place I've never been) for similar reasons, too.

Indeed, welcome back Barry.
