Welcome, friends. Please introduce yourselves, come in and look around. This is just a start, so I expect to see several familiar faces. Once things get established here, this thread will exist as a place for new arrivals to introduce themselves as well.
I do hope this can be of service to everyone, and as enjoyable and interesting to you all as it surely will be for me to be a part of.
With no further ado, let us begin!

LDG here. Thread-starter and self-appointed marshall in this here 'blog.
LDG
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BLOG - THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN AND I AM SURE VERY INFORMATIVE
KC-Fresno, Ca.
I'm looking forward to more. It sounds like this blog will be a lot like your commentary emails when you first moved to Japan, except now we get to comment.
-W.D. Robinson
What Bill said. I'm really glad that we'll be hearing more from you.
Marian
Welcome KC, mr. bill and mgw!
Glad you all made it by.
Yes to Bill, very much the same will be done on about a weekly basis. However the daily's will be shorter posts.
As the comments...
That's what is hoped, that everyone does comment and add in things.
I'll try my best!
well- you know I am here!!!!
Great to see that you took the plunge... and here's hoping to see all the old timers and new visitors too. It will be great, of that I'm sure. Hi KC, thought I was going to beat you to the punch, but you were faster. Let's keep spreading the word... to Adam too. He may decide to join us for obstacle-free (well almost-the marshall's lurking)discussions and fun.
Wooo-hooooo the old Marie (no emphasis on the word "old") :)
Welcome Susan (AZ) and Maria!
Yes, by all means pass the word. It would be great if A. Housley were to join in!
Hey Doug! great to see that you will again bless us with your mind and words. Looking forward to this.
Scott
P.S. The I.D> is for a Blog of my SL business selling Aircraft and classic cars.
Scott
Welcome Karl (aka Scott)!
Glad to see you here, and hope things are going well with that business.
Moderator Action:
Maria's of 11:03 redirected to the "Weekend Open" thread.
Hi Maria
So glad to "see" you here. It has been awhile. Yes, hopefully, we can get the gang over here to give LDG a bad time once in awhile. (Keep him in shape) - Hope he will allow us to digress a bit!!!
KC-Fresno, Ca.
You know, I remember you once said 'blogging' should be illegal.
Great to hear from you :)
Welcome Will!
Yes, you have me dead to rights there. ((big grin))
I'll try to set a higher standard here than what prompted that opinion back then.
Patty IS HERE! *L* Let the games begin!
Seriously...this is cool of you ldg. I so miss the bantering at Adam's.
I hope your friends don't think any less of you after we all show up! ha ha ha
I'll be back when time allows, you can count on it.
Ldg..if this double posts, feel free to omit one.
Welcome, Patty!
Beer is in the icebox, Banter goes in the thread(s) labeled "open"...
...and I'll even run out a news trivia from time to time. Enjoy!
