So, I'm sitting here at my desk reflecting on life and cleaning things up. I happen to find a pswd to an old email account I used to use. Yeah, I know... pswds on post-it note... bad ju-ju....
Anyhow, I log into the account and find if full of unread emails..some 3,000 of them. Guess Gmail really does keep all mail! I had not touched this account in several years... actually going back to late 2006...so basically 5 yrs of emails.
In this vast sea of mail.. I sorted it from old to new... and I found this little gem.
I guess after celebrating the 5 year event recently (and liking it a lot more than I expected...) and listening to the "Kobold Still Hate You (forever)" techno song by Steel here at DDO... I cracked open this gem.
Ah, the memories of a long distant past in Ebberon....

Ah... seems like just yesterday. Man... I've been involved and playing this game THAT long?! Guess a good thing is hard to give up.
Just sharing the memories... anybody else have some? Not sure why I feel so nostalgic the past few days....
