In Case Anyone Was Wondering . . . .

| September 21, 2025

. . . no, I ain’t dead. And with apologies to Mr. Clemens:  “Any such rumors have been greatly exaggerated.”

I’ve been away from TAH for quite a while. So just in case anyone out there was wondering what was up I thought I’d post this update.

Why the hiatus? A number of different reasons. I won’t bore everyone with the details.

I will say this much: the past 3 1/2 years have certainly been . . . “interesting times”. However, I will also state – for the record – that no incarceration, institutionalization, emigration, skulduggery, rehab, felony, or “secret squirrel” mission was involved. (smile) Just a ton of stuff happening, much of which was both time-consuming and unexpected.

But I think I’m beginning to see some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Tunnel exit or oncoming train? We’ll see.

Still: it looks as if I might have time now to contribute an occasional article or comment here at TAH. Maybe. Dunno for sure.

That’s all I’ve got. Hope everyone is hanging in there and doing at least OK. Even you, Commissar Wumao.

Out for now. Y’all take care.

Great to hear from you! Looking forward to hearing more.

Good to know Hondo is still roaming around out there. Too many of long-time members here have slipped the surly bonds of Earth recently.

Grunt

I drive through Hondo once or twice a month and always have quick thought as to how you are doing.

Good to hear you aren’t dead!

Skivvy Stacker

Are you sure? He don’t look so good…

what am I saying? He NEVER looked good.

Old tanker

Just try and make sure the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t attached to an oncoming train…

I still remember the days when many of us said “I am Hondo” when the looney POSers were looking for people to sue that were claimed to be Hondo. Bernasty was the leader of that band aka The Dutch Rudder Gang.

Happy to see you back in the neighborhood, I was starting to think you might have been a figment of our imagination, a mass hallucination.

It’s good to hear from you Hondo, I hope life is going well for you and yours.

God’s blessings on you and yours, Hondo.

Life’s unexpected twists and turns can be sudden. Praying yours straighten out and fly right for the future.

One of my favorite comments to make during Bernathian Troubles.

We had fun trolling Ber-Nasty then, didn’t we?

He was all broken up about it.
