Pardon my ego if I suspect my absence has been noticed. Thanks to sj for prodding me to post. I'm glad to see all is well and good around here. Things are fine with me and my family. I've just been a wee bit busy, as should be assumed since this post is being done at 12:35am local time.

I'll try to pop by more regularly.

Welcome back! EiLB.

I myself was somewhat absent from the DK gang until very recently.

The black crow is back! Hurrah to him!
Welcome back, bro Eric!

by **Coda** on 15 Mar 2005, 15:38

Nice to see you posting again, Eric!

by **Eric in Long Beach** on 16 Mar 2005, 00:01

Thank you, thank you.

phpbb doesn't like me because I never receive e-mail notification of replies despite my requests for notification.

BTW, nice portrait in your personal icon, Rémi. But with all due respect, I think it's time for a haircut.

It's not phpbb, it's my stupid webhost that doesn't work fine.

I'll make a change for another - and I hope better - server on next may, though I don't have any idea what webhost I could choose, and I hope we won't get those boring errors messages and bugs anymore.

Welcome back Eric... I had wondered where you had disappeared to also. But like the rest of us, probably got really busy.

Great to see you back Eric!

Did you end up moving overseas?

by sj on 16 Mar 2005, 03:57

It is great to see you back Eric. We understand about busy. I think I'm busy and my nest is nearing empty. Glad all is well with you and your family.

Nope, but we may be headed your way, Bud, at the end of the summer. We should get some news in the next couple months. If you don't hear any news from me about it, then I'm still in Long Beach.

Welcome back, Eric! So you may be joining us on the other coast...we'll make room for another DK fan anytime

Will be great if you make it out this way, Eric. If you're looking for a good public school system, think Fairfax County, VA...

We visited some firends in Alexandria last August. It seemed pretty nice. Is that in Fairfax County?

by **Bud** on 25 Mar 2005, 18:08

Alexandria borders on Fairfax County, but is not part of it. Here's a school district map:

What makes FCPS better than the others?

by **Bud** on 05 Apr 2005, 05:22

Here is a page of stats for starters: ttp://www.fcps.k12.va.us/about/stats.htm

The schools are very well funded. Academic standards are high, as evidenced by SAT scores, but there is more to the schools than just academics. Music programs, for example, are very strong, which my kids are taking full advantage of.

Fairfax County is also the high tech center of the area, and is reasonably compared with Silicon Valley (no comparison on the weather though - thats another story)...

Thanks for the info, Bud!

Hey! Bit by bit, it looks like the old gang is returning to the fold. I've only been lurking around here and there myself, reserving my comments for the most part. (I figured I'd been chatty enough on previous MB incarnations and that it was time to let the newcomers have their chance!)

It is really good to 'see' you again, Eric. Glad to hear all is well in Long Beach, too.
