Clicking around the forums for the first time in three years feels like spying on the house where you used to live, so I thought I'd make it less weird and say hi. So: hi! I used to be a very active reader and MC and then my life kind of fell apart (it's back together now.) Looking at the forums made me feel horribly guilty about the way that I dropped off the face of the earth, so I didn't come here at all for years.
Then the other day I got a lovely note from someone who had listened to the Anne of Green Gables dramatic reading, which made me think about coming back to Librivox. I started reading through the forums and found that a lot of familiar faces are gone, but some are still around! I also saw that two people I considered online friends, Lars Rolander and Denny Sayers, had passed away. I didn't get a chance to let them know how much they had meant to me, but I do get to say that to everyone who's still here. Guys, if you're new here, stick around - this is a really special place.
So, I'm kind of maybe back? I don't have a good setup to record right now, but I'll be around. I've missed you.

Aw, you guys.
Tricia, I was just thinking about you the other day - we drove past Chautauqua on the highway and it made me think of your readings of the Pansy books!

Wow - you're back! I'm so glad, and I hope you plan to stick around! Your "Anne" books and other Dramatic Works were what got me inspired to start recording here! ![Cloud Nine :9:](./images/smilies/cloud9.gif)

Good evening, Holmes.
There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!

Cori and Arielle, there is one more book of Sherlock Holmes stories still un-dramatized! If both of you were interested in reprising your roles, I would be happy to do the script prep and BC it?

Awww... :') I'm new here, so I wasn't around back when you were on here a lot, but I wanted to say "hi," too, and welcome back!
(And I love your forum name -- "wildemoose"! That's so cute!
