Hey Guys! Just wanted to drop in and wish you all a (slightly late) Happy New Year!!! Also, to apologise for the last year when I was a bit of a b@st@rd at times. Thankfully very few of you here know what happened over the year to make me act like that, but hey - that's the past and I'd like to let it stay that way. And to the future? Well, at the moment I'm in Aurora (yup, the one in Colorado!), loving the US and hoping to be here quite some time. Hopefully I should soon be back on track with doing some artwork, and hell, I might even be back here a bit more..... in artistic and nice mode! So, I wanna wish you ALL a great New Year, and hope it brings each and every one of you what you want and a lot more besides! Mikey (",)

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome back guys!! Tibby, you have NO idea how close to the truth you are babe ;-) Yes, my heart has been stolen by an American lady... Joe, the good stuff has only followed lots of bad stuff and a damn awful 2005 that nearly saw the end of me.... so the last couple of months have been a MASSIVE turnaround, and YUP I most definately like it :-D And yes, given the chance America is gonna be my new home..... Margana, thanks for the welcome! Glad to hear I've still been talked about....erm, I think..... ;-) Andreas, unfortunately my mentoring days are over in that field.... However, if you wanna learn how to be an International Cassanova......... Take care peeps! (",)

Cheers again guys.... darn, the pace these days is FAST! 4 days and already loads of posts for me to read between this and the first page! Jeez! Sheila, if the truth be known I'm a warm beach/lazing by the pool in the sun kinda guy.... I expected cold & snow though the weather here is milder than at home at the moment..... and as for actually liking the mountains, I'm gonna find out pretty soon when my girl takes me up there properly.... Okies, I'll be around! (",)

yep, it's a fast-movin' joint, Mikey!! we're having unseasonably warm weather here too. usually it's miserably cold this time of year with plenty of ice and snow. this winter we're having 50-70 degree weather. it's the weirdest winter i've ever seen! hope you get to the mountains soon!! you are gonna fall in love!!! well...i reckon you already have, but i mean with the mountains! :)

Here too!Unseasonably warm!Today was in the mid-fifties!(I'm in New York).And it's all a bit freaky...makes you love today but fear tomorrow,lol. I looooooooooooooooooooove Colorado!You lucky man!What a gorgeous state!!!!!Rocky mountain high,indeed!Loved it there!!!!! Ooh.Am I dating myself?You could be in your twenties for all I know,lol.I am quoting John Denver...in case you didn't know...LOL :^)

i ADORE John Denver!!! the very first 45 i ever bought was Denver's "Calypso." looks like i'm dating myself too! :) weird...i've no idea how old you are, Mikey. 20's? 30's? or 40s?

My very first record,a 45,was a birthday gift from my neighbor...his dad owned a record store...that eventually became Sam Goody's...if you ever heard of that... Any way...That record was,'Bread and Butter',by god-knows-who.LOL.But I still have it!And I remember playing it on my suitcase/turntable...You close the lid and it plays... K.Sorry Mikey for hijacking your thread.I don't even know you and I'm already taking advantage,lol.Sooooooooooooooooorry. I'll hush. ;^P

If I remember correctly, Mickey is in his early 30's! ;)

Yep...i remember Sam Goody's alright, but i don't remember the song Bread and Butter, but i do remember Brown Sugar! LOL! Well, i might remember if i heard it but i don't remember the name. ya know, my folks still have a working turntable and they have a lot of my old 45's. Last summer we got out and had a blast listening them!!! Love the Platters...oh yeah!!! yeah...sorry, Mikey...well you know it's really MY fault for hijacking the thread. marlene mentioned John Denver and i just couldn't help myself!! thanks, Pascale! :)
