It's Been the Ride of My Life ... But Real Life Wins
I will be gone for a while, but hopefully not forgotten. In the eternal search for balance between my long-term affair with simming and honoring commitments in the real world, the YouTube journey will have to play second fiddle for a while. I wish I could give you some kind of reliable schedule of when I'll be back, but I need to take a breather and let the daily unfolding of life set my pace.
I thank all of you for your support and loyalty to everything I've accomplished with the channel with particular props to the following members, creators, modders, and everyone else who has sent a kind word my way over the years.
