An Ex Coworker Wrote Me
Hey Jeff!
Thanks for letting me know. [That software I supported while there] did have a long run, and this ends a distinguished era for [the compnay]. The first [software] pieces went into production at around this time in 1993, I believe. 12 tears (I mean, YEARS). What a life.
How you doing? Who’s still left out there? Are you a manager yet?
Things are going well here. I’m continuing to build my DJ business. The music collection is up to 35,000 songs now, and I’m doing some Windows programming in Visual Studio 2003 .NET, to manage all those MP3 files. I’ve added some high-intensity black lights to the show, and did my first two weddings in 2004. The business is still limping, but it’s starting to pick up momentum.
I injured my wrist last November. They think it’s broken, so I’m not going to be doing any DJ gigs until that gets straightened out. Hard to carry my heavier gear around with just one hand. 
Here’s a pic of me doing a sweet sixteen birthday party a little while ago…
Give the folks who knew me my regards, if you wouldn’t mind. Let ‘em know that I’m still alive and kicking.
