Yet, I can see it from here. Best wishes, comrade

Wow, has it been that long, Steven?

It seems the social media craze has taken over. I think as social media became ever more popular, the Forum became less and less visited. That's unfortunate because none of the social media platforms can match the Forum in terms of learning.

Good to hear from you and about your new ventures.

I do think if someone were to start posting some portraits that people might start posting some. But, I doubt it will ever be what it once was.

Are you on Facebook? I'm there personally and as a business.

You are so vivid in my memory.
One of my clients passed away at the age 50.

Hi Debra, I am hoping to tickle your fancy with reconnecting the SOG group. I miss it and bet others do too.
Are you up to it?

Well, I just hit 66, and while I'm not spry, I'm still active. But I have too many boats in the shed for a guy my age. It may be time to "come off the water," as they say. Maybe I should just take up drawing and painting.

Checked "come off the water" comparing with your location
Still water is deep, the deeper the water is, the slower the flow, although the wind on the water surface is strong, the water sinking in the depths will maintain slowness... a person: in the case of difficult and troublesome, maintain a calm and peaceful attitude. Generally speaking, moving too fast, too fast, wear and die quickly. Peace will last long, so say "quiet and far".

Wish you as a big fish come out from deep water.

Hi, SB, hope you are doing well --

"Coming off the water" is an idiom that means recognizing that one is getting too old to keep taking boats out into the sea. I'm a life-long and pretty good sailor, but I'm starting to feel my age (66), and I have to be careful about the safety of people I'm with. (I usually sail alone, and I especially like high winds, so I'm kind of a disaster in the making. But I really love pushing everything to the limit, especially when sailing.) I hope you're doing well.
