Ubuntu Reunion

Not sure if everyone has access to facebook, so I thought I'd throw this out here, too. We're planning an Ubuntu reunion for all Ubuntu participants, mentors, friends, significant others on Saturday, May 7th around 12-12:30 p.m. for a lunch and time to hang out in the afternoon. It will take place at Devon's parents' house at the Bluffton University Nature Preserve. If you can, please let me know what you'll be attending by replying to this post or responding to the facebook event. Thanks!

Excerpts from my frustrations

Oh how I miss you. And I swore I never would. I hate that I miss you but still I do. With your funny names for us. For us. What an incredible concept. Us. Together. It was this time last year I felt scorned by you but I think you loved. I would know more fully if I knew what that meant. Come back. Please come back. Show again your simplicity. Your community. Your care for others. The way you set up conversations. Times for fun. Times for learning. For challenging. I hate that I spurned you. That there were times I turned my back on you. What I would do to rewind and begin my short but memorable and delightful time with you. For the projects we did. For the late nights. For the brilliance you surrounded me with. For your patience when I stumbled. For your hand of guidance in teaching me to live with others not like me. For teaching me new skill sets and setting me up with new friends. But where did you go? You left me as abruptly as you found me. I yearn for more but you have hidden your face. Will you ever come back, even if only to say hey?
