Weird, I found your blog by accident. While being dissolute as usual. I can't remember if I was this dissolute when I knew you, probably! Anyway, not one to lurk so figured I'd out myself. Same day I got an email out of the blue from John O, from MCI. Strange.

Oh, and I hope you don't mind that I found this--may not be back, I prefer blogs with less content and more gossip!
