Hi, all. I'm back...

[brasi]

...and I wanted to say hello...I had a terrible time this summer (June). I lost someone so close to me. Everything has changed. My best friend and /gf/on-off muse passed away VERY unexpectedly.

I tell you this because a lot of you have been so kind to me, reading my Trip Reports, giving me great advice, leaving Red Stripes on my stoop, etc et. al. and I didn't want you to think I am just a fair weather boardie, or that I left y'all hanging in some respects.

I don't know. Just...I am back...things are different...I need to get to Jamaica...I hope for normalcy but it never comes. I need to try.

Sorry for the BUZZKILL...but I'm that guy now...the single dude with a horrible tragic story.

Peace. Please let me know what I've missed since late May/June.

Sorry you lost someone you cared about. My heart goes out to you. Not easy. And welcome back, hope you get back to Jamaica soon.

WHAT someone left Red Stripes on your stoop!??? Why, how come I never get that kind of warm reception? LOL. Welcome back to the board, Brasi ( you fair weather boardie). LOL I never lost you with the off the board contact so you know my feelings on your loss. Take Care. See you soon on the beach!
