It was good seeing you again, some tears and laughter were shared.

Topics discussed: Illegal Solar panels, USSR, Elections US, Mental health, Mental health & HIV, Self Care came up again & Holiday Plans. However, the main topics were Alan & Life in general.

Thank you for attending.

So glad to see you today too, Marin. While I hate that we had to give you the bad news about the loss of our mutual friend Alan, it was good to hear how you have been getting along....the bad stuff and the good stuff. Best wishes with the job, your studies, and your boyfriend.

Take care and don't be a stranger!

Thanks for a lovely chat as always lads. Still in a bit of a state of shock here. I wish I had come on one of the earlier calls.

I'm glad I was able to join the call as I wasn't able to make the last few. So sad not to see Alan but then again he was their isn spirit.  Always a good chat and sure is intresting on how we make it to some of the topics.
