Dear Friends,

The Castle was decommissioned yesterday evening in the presence of
notable friends. It was a moving moment for many reasons, but to be
graced by older and newer friends for such an occasion helped make the
transition more positive than negative.

For any who wish to maintain contact with me now that The Castle is a
memory, you may do so via email, of course.

I have two ICQ accounts, one for my Mac (501353) and one for my PC
(5116920). Add me if you don't have me already and wish to.

My YahooIM is "palacecastle".

My MSN (now known as Windows Live Messenger) is
cityslicker69@..., or castleslicker@... although
neither is a functional email address.

I truly wish to maintain contact with those I have met in palace even
though I will not return to that media. Although I have no specific
plans, I don't foresee being involved with any chat programs other
than "instant message" types.

arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved wrapper, but,
rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand and beer in the
other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming, "OH
MAN! What a ride!"
