Good to have you back Bren! Are you still a soccer fan? I thought about you a couple of weeks ago when I posted something about watching the U.S. soccer team playing Brazil in the Confederations Cup finals.

Welcome back Bren!
I missed both your sense of humor and your no-nonsense, common sense input around here.

Hmmm, gone for 6 months eh? Just now returning just after a recent post from a strangly quiet BigWyres......

Maybe Randy isn't BigWyres after all??????

Wow, it's only been 2.5 months it would appear.

I guess I missed you guys.

Good things:
- Coached little league baseball again this year... the guys (and two girls that wanted to play baseball and not that evil twin of baseball, softball) got to Cities but lost out in the last game to miss a spot in Provincials by one run.
- Spending a lot of time with friends and family.
- Spending the rest of my time buying up older firearms and bringing them back to former glory (maybe this goes under "got wood?" or "got blued steel?")
........Note to all, heavy body furniture stripper eats through any glove commercially available.
- Spent a few months planning my nuptials.

Bad Things:
- Above mentioned nuptials were called off by the bride-to-be 10 days before the wedding, so I am single for the first appreciable length of time since my voice changed. It's kind of odd. On the plus side, while refilling what's being packed up, I've learned that curtains are called "window coverings" they come in "panels" - which is an ancient sanskrit word for none of these are the correct size, and that I need to know answers to questions like "tab-top or rod pocket?"

Yeah, Bren; 2.5 months was at least 2.4 months too long. Missed your wit and wisdom.

Sorry to hear about the bad things, but that's a great list of good things to offset them.

Oh, and I'm glad you're back, even if it hasn't been a full six months. You always have a unique perspective on things, so start weighing in on the active topics already.

That Denon cable is overpriced, CV needs more confidence (or roofies) with women, Wheelz' caregiver is easy on the eyes, and a medusa bag seems a little weird, but then again, you ARE the guy that has a "personal logo", so...

Bren R.

Welcome back! Congratulations on your singleness, enjoy it while it lasts.

Agreed! Enough time to be married when you're, errr ummm, married. I love my wife but it's hard not to look back with smiles and nostalgia on my single years.

I'm sure your famed unique perspective came in handy when dealing with the repercussions of the terminated nuptials. On the plus side, picking up domestic skills is never a bad thing.

Welcome back bren! You, CV, and I can start our own Axiom Bachelor club if you'd like. The tagline could be "The best sounding bachelor pads around"
