Rev's 10th

[revkev]

Well it's hardly Beethoven's 9th but May marks the 10th anniversary of my time as a member of the MGS forum community.  Many of the folks who were here when I started are gone but some remain, looking at you Foz and a few others.  I spent a little time as the number one all time poster but also could see that I would be passed up by others and have been.  Still nearly 15K posts are a lot.  I can't recall all of the tests that I've been a part of but those have been fun though perhaps not for the moderators who have had to deal with my technical ineptness.  Lots of people here who are my virtual friends, lots of nice conversations both private and public, I've made some real friends here as well as we have a nice group of MGSer's in the Tampa Bay area.

 

I think my favorite thread that I started was the one about what club you would grab out of your bag to stop a home intruder - it was well before there was any sort of thread hall of fames but it had lots of traction and was tons of fun.  

 

Thanks Adam, T (who was very active in the forum when I first started) and BarbaJo for providing a nice place to hang out with other golfers.

 

On a personal note this May is going to be a huge month for me.  My Administrative Assistant left a couple of weeks ago, breaking my heart, she will always be a friend but I understand that she wanted to live out in the country and work from home - that doesn't fit in a Church/School setting that is in an urban area.  So we are actually getting a professional church worker to fill that role, whose name is, wait of it..... May.  But May doesn't come until June which we are having tons of fun with throughout the Day School and Congregational communities.  Also work has begun on the house remodel.  Taking a Florida home built in 1970 and making it handicap accessible with an eye towards the future is a trip.  So my life is in turmoil to such an extent that I couldn't find a single pair of golf shoes (I own 5) last Sunday until I said I will need to buy another one when I get to the course and my Sketchers magically appeared.  Fairways and greens forever!

Based on @revkev's description, I had to go find the "what club would you use to fight off an intruder" thread. Here it is:

Rev it's always a great time when you're involved in a thread.  Thanks for remaining here for a decade, welcoming me a few years back and for being a very large part of making this forum a place that is full of information and welcoming to the other great members here.   And thanks for giving me other options for stopping a home intruder

Congratulations! Celebrate the occasion with a plane ticket to Spokane Int'l Airport, where one of us will pick you up and haul you around to the various tracks of frustration and horror @Kenny Bhas lined up for the 4th Annual PNW Spy Meet-up.
