Hey Art!
Wow, I missed out on this thread the first day, confusing it with the previous one from last year.
It's SO good to hear from you! Everything said previously goes for me, too -- the photos of Asia mean a lot to us. It tells us you're "there", even if the pix are mainly meant for your Ham buddies (and you know I'm a Ham daughter!), we consider them a way that you to keep in touch with us, too.
As for missing you every night on the air...well...and you think your nicotine problem is worse than our Art-Addiction? Don't know which is the lesser evil!
WE REALLY MISS YOU!!
In a manner of speaking, we pretty much live on archives and "reruns." Don't/can't listen to M-F at all. Just tonight on my commute home, I was listening to the Rodney/Spirit in the Rid-a-Pest thingie show on my iPod. What fun!! NO one could've molded/shaped that conversation and ensuing calls as you did. THAT was great radio -- and you are indeed, The Master! I was yelling, "Brilliant, Art!" the whole time! It was like a great tennis match. And you loved every second of it!
We would indeed be grateful for as little as once-a-week live shows. And yet, we're glad you're having such a terrific time with Airyn and Asia...but we know you're happy broadcasting, as well.
Yep, it's in your blood.
I'm afraid for you to go back to the Philippines, though... Remember how dangerous it was, Art. We stayed so worried about you. Do think
very carefully about the pros and cons...I know you will.
We are INDEED your extended family...We are your cheerleaders, defenders, protectors, and yes, biggest "fans." We "get it."
Thanks for checking in here every once in awhile to let us know you think about us, too. All you need do is come aboard the Good Ship to be reminded how much you're loved and appreciated (in addition to Lady Bell and Baby Bell, of course!).
I predict a big hurricane season...no one covers hurricanes like you, so stick around. It's going to be a gusty ride!
Your home-state pal,
HJ
