really experiencing the rockford "culture"
Well, I think it's time to put my money where my mouth is. I think, if I really want to grok Rockford (say it 10 times fast) is to come and do some tinyblog research.
That's right, I'm coming to Rockford. I'm gonna show up mid-month and do some Rockford research, including said "Brew Pub" and perhaps even said "field art". But I am definately going to help my mom "harvest some honey", and maybe even help her with a small "web project".
I...I'm a little hesitant to break the news here, but I think I will, because it just feels wrong to pretend it isn't happening...
Roseanne and I are breaking up.
I know this may be pretty tough for people to believe, since we were going to be married in a month. I wish I could explain more...but I'm kind of in the intermittant pain and shock phase, and not really in the "explaining things to people" phase.
So the loing and the short of it is, I'm moving out, and I'm going to Rockford to kick it with my "mom" and Rockford "friends" for a week or so.
If you are a friend of Roseanne's, please do your best to be there for her. I think she really needs some extra support.
Feel free to email me if you wish.

I'm so sorry that you and Rosanne are splitting. ...god that seems understated.

Sorry to hear about you and Rosanne.
Hopefully when you come to town its actually during a time frame when I have a night or two free.

Not sure if there will be much to see with the field art by that time - would probably have to see if we can hunt down somebody to give a plane tour or something to see it.
Definately would have to kidnap the guys and drag them down to the pub though.
I think half the guys are gonna be gone the weekend of the 17th doing nerdy history-reenactment stuff though.
Sorry about the break-up :/

Yeah, it's crazy, and I will indeed be there the weekend of the 17th. Brilliant timing eh? But we can all knock off to the brewpub some weeknight. I'm gonna be there probably pretty close to the 14th or 15th, and then I'm going to stay a weekish.

...and thanks for the kind words. When Roseanne starts posting again go over there and give her some love. I'm sure she could use it.

Actually it's only I that is going to be at the one that weekend. The Grau and Joe aren't going. That's also my wife's birthday weekend.

Ahhh... I see. Well, hopefully we can hook up some weeknight before I leave.

Give me dates when you will be in town and I will see if I can't rearrange my calander during the week. Up until 2 weeks ago they where going to be sending me to Texas for 1-6 months for work. So most of my plans are really flexable.

Actually, while we won't be participating, I was going to day trip it out to that event as a civilian for a few hours just to check it out if you want to come along and see what a growing segment of your Rockford buds do for fun. If it conflicts with any kind of hangin' out schedule I'll skip it, and we'll hang.
We're here for you man.

I was *thinking* of checking out the event too, but I dono if it'd be worth a 3 hour road trip in each direction...

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll just get the skinny on it from Contagion when he gets back to see if I wanna try and pass jury for next year.

I am hopeful we will cross paths at some point. I am truly sorry to hear about you and Rzan parting, I can not fathom how much pain you have right now but TIME will heal all and bring everything back
