> Well I've been back home for a couple of weeks after spending 6 weeks staying
> at my parents place helping them while my Dad was undergoing cancer treatment
> and my mum was essentially too frail to care for herself without assistance.

> The treatment for my Dad went smoothly (as far as we can tell) and my care of
> my mother went OK too. I got to spend some time with my brother who flew over
> from the USA to be with us as well. So despite the somewhat less than ideal
> circumstances for being together as a family it was a good experience with
> that mix of highs and lows that come with something like that (as you would
> expect).

> I'm still working from home and uncertain as some covid-19 restrictions start
> to relax in New Zealand just how long my remote working will last for.
> Personally I have mostly enjoyed remote working and hope to be able to
> continue to do that if able.

> I'm also working hard to still avoid getting Covid as I think there are
> pretty good chances I'll end up back at my parents place in the coming months
> to help with further care etc. of one or both of them.

> My hobbies of BBSing and running a LPFM station have been taking a bit of a
> back seat as of late as I have found the mix of work, family supporting etc.
> to be taking up a lot of my time and energies. But I have no desire to cease
> doing BBSing or the LPFM stuff :) So the time I am spending on BBSing is a
> bit more limited these days by the things outlined above.

> I've hatched a couple of Xqtr files today, there's the latest issue of Null
> and a nice Mystic Mod you may well (heck yes you will) enjoy playing with -
> thanks Xqtr :)

> Am working on adding a few nodes and doing some tidy up of the nodelist over
> the next week or so also. Plus there's the catching up on echomail :) I can
> understand how it can be easier sometimes to skip to the last 20 messages
> posted and start from there - ha! :)

> A note of thanks for your continued participation and interest in fsxNet as a
> FTN network. It's always nice to login and see some activity and chatter
> between folks when I am all too well aware there are a number of BBS FTN
> networks around that are essentially inactive. So thank you.

> Best, Paul aka Avon
