I'm still alive too, but as in the past, my activity here correlates strongly with my vacation times. I work in IT and sit in front of a computer screen for eight to ten hours a day (actually in front of two or three screens ), so I'm very happy to be able to do something else in my spare time. Then on vacation there usually is the time to catch up on a few things.
Our group is still active, we have about 4-6 dates a year where we meet to play sails of glory. And as usual I will report about our activity from time to time.

@Rob: All the best for Eileen's operation, I cross the fingers that you get a new date soon and everything goes well.
