Hey Brother,

Great to "hear" your voice. :D

FYI, I still hold out hope of one day "dropping in" on you and Country Girl...

No, I wouldn't dare just "drop in" with zero warning--unless, by some very unexpected circumstance, I were passing through your neighborhood on the way somewhere else and there was no other way than to just "ping" you to let you know that I was there...

The most likely scenario is that my bride and I might be globe-trotting, God willing, in a travel trailer a year or so from now. From somewhere we naturally frequent, as close/distant as mid-New Hampshire, I would make it a point to buzz up and see you. I would have already done so, I would have taken a side-trip a couple of years ago, but at the time the borders were "locked down" by the PTSB, and I was prevented... );

"I really miss the community aspect of Hive..."

As do I... I suspect it's a combination of what you said, and just the normal progression of life circumstances that draw our attention away to other things:

"I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all." - Ecclesiastes 9:11

Nevertheless, I continue to be grateful for Hive; I'm still compelled to write and publish my attempts at poetry at random intervals; and I am often blessed when I stumble across one or another of our past conversations in comments under older articles. 🙏🏻😁❤️😆 Know that you've been a blessing in my life.

There seems to be active and growing community and excitement associated with nostr, and so if you ever choose to "jump in," I'd be more than glad to assist you in any way.

May Jesus/God bless you and yours, my friend!
😄😇😉
