Hello, All!

Don't know if many (any?) of you would remember me, but I used to hang
around here a lot and even contributed to the discussions, on
occasion. I see quite a few familiar names still here, too: Dave Bugg,
Ed Pawlowski, Brick, and my good buddy Buzz, to name a few. Probably
some others still around, as well.

Been through a few changes, over the last couple of years. My wife
finally finished her doctorate in chemistry. (You may recall that she
contributed her expertise to a discussion/debate that I had with
somebody about carcinogens in Kingsford briquets. She's now
teaching chemistry at a local community college. As for me, I'm trying
to get myself retired from teaching so I can do something else that
doesn't involve hyperactive, hormonal teenagers! I'm also finally
going to have time to cook some barbecue contests this summer. Even
got my feet wet at a contest in Columbus, MS earlier this month.
Didn't win anything, but I didn't come in dead last, either!

Well, just wanted to say "Hi!" and let y'all know that I'm still
around, even if I've been scarce, lately. I'll try not to be a
stranger.
