So my 39-year-old daughter is pregnant and due around May 21st. The baby is a
huge boy almost 5 lbs now and my daughter is tiny. I remember when she
started driving and had to sit on a pillow to see over the dashboard of a
car. Anyhow, I'll be flying out to California after the event to welcome my
first grandchild. When her fiance called me last year to ask for her hand in
marriage I said, "...dude, the clock is ticking!" Hahaha!

So didn't Roland DeGraffe write Virtual Advanced as a door for WWIV?
And if so, how would you call the door from the BBS with the appropriate drop
file? It almost sounds like VADV could be a game server of sorts.

I'm going to Canada for a week, Sunday to Sunday. If something terrible
should go wrong, I don't think I can take care of it remotely. I need to
travel light and might have to ditch my laptop. I'll be on a train in the
Rockies and they don't have wifi. Isn't that delightful :O

In as much as I have gone through many life changes, your comment that
"...We're trying to get everything unpacked!" puts my mind at ease. I had
visions of you going through an existential crisis... Sounds like good upward
mobility to me :)

He was worried about you as he pings everyone's boards I guess. How did the
move go? That can be daunting...

I made two dump runs already so it's at least presentable now but,
unfinished. I have some boxes of stuff from my move from Maryland to Cape
Cod. My best friend in Maryland gave me a large pair of Electrovoice speaker
cabs which I have in plastic bags. I still have an old rackmount stereo rig
which needs some help but quite functional. I might move the sound system
there to enjoy some music as well as a bass amp for practice. My spouse is
not into loud music so.... go figure.
