In 2001 I discovered I had a 4yr old little girl. In 2009 I got to see her for the first time.

Dec. of 2013 I was contacted with her where-a-bouts and told of some problems going on. I immediately made arrangements to have her flown to JFK in NYC for me to pick her up, and she has been with me since then. I now have all of my kids, my family is complete. With triplet 7 yr. old boys, a 13 yr. old boy, and now my daughter who just turned 17 yesterday, my time is full. I will sign in when I can, but do not expect to do much gaming currently. Fear not, I will return eventually. But for now, my children are my life.

I have learned that we find and like various websites on the internet. Each with a different interest level. I use to love playing games here and on other sites, but my gaming time just isn't what it use to be. Life has it's responsibilities, time being an item which consumes us. I wonder what has become of this site? Has it grown in popularity, or has it faded? Often I think about reading the discussion boards looking for an answer to those questions, but I recall there was once a huge ordeal about opinions on censorship from players which I just do not want to be involved in. Hopefully that debate is a thing of the past. None the less, I would rather not put myself in a situation to create problem by being misunderstood, or misinterpreted so I have stayed away from the boards, and the clubs.

One of the things I recall liking so much was the use of wiki web. I loved creation of things on it, and liked the spotlight of being a tournament director and tournament creator. Now an item of void with the site having programmed tournament layouts, all appearing to be a round robin format. I wonder what use the clubs are with the tournament implementation. And for now... my time has dwindled away writing this.

On a side note, it is nice to be accepted back at the site.

July 18th 2013.

After being absent for 3-4 yrs. it is sad to see so many friendly faces gone, but nice to still see a small handful of old familiar players still here. I come back looking for acceptance to the site after a conversation on facebook with a friend about the Trax game I liked so much. Time will tell if I become a steady user of Goldtoken again or not.
