As any of you know who read my blog, it was lost a few months ago due to the incompetence and dishonesty of these people, who stole my hosting fees and then just disappeared for two months. My blog had achieved over a million hits in less than a year, was averaging 4-8,000 hits a day, and was a top 150 blog.
It has been a hard road back, and while the entire blog was lost when Sonnex went under, I have been using Google to try and reconstruct some of my favorite posts. As I mine these posts, I will add them to ISOU classic.

There are a number of posts there now, including the rough, unedited chapters from the book I have been working on. Thanks for reading ISOU.

You know, I have always believed the true test of a person is the friends they attract and keep.

For all of you who have given me so much support in the last two weeks, I again offer my heartfelt thanks. And to Rogue... What can I say... With all the stuff going on in her life, she has been a bastion of support and love to me, and I am honestly humbled by it. More than humbled, I am overwhelmed.

She is more than anyone, responsible for the resurrection of this blog, and for insisting that I continue with it. Without her encouragement, support and downright threats of abuse, hehe... (I was tempted on that one) if I gave up... I would have just said screw it.

I did not realize how much I would miss this thing. So to Rogue, Shylah, Dave, Boyd, TCF, Tas, Jay Tea, Stephen, Ron and everyone else who offered words of encouragement.... or in some cases, a lot more, I thank you!

Hell I feel like Mr. Kotter!

Thanks to Jack.
Frank you ROCK!
Tas, you will always be my main man!
Rogue, I love ya!
Shabooty, you are the little Brother I never had.
Gordy, you ROCK, and I have never seen you cranky! (wink)

And thanks to all of you who have visited and dropped links on me, comments, etc. Rogue is still working on the templates, and it is obvious we are not yet in full effect. Dave of Zencomix, has done a cool new logo, and it will be premiering with the new site design which is going to have a cool three column look to it.

I almost forgot my buddies at Incite. Not sure what the hell Goemagog is talking about though? Hehe...

And thanks to my Brother Marty, who is as always a CLASS act!
