I think some of these characters are "reborn" as new characters.  They get tired of the role they create, so they come up with a new one.  Examples like Sleeper, Tiernan, etc.  I don't think those guys got religion and just up and left.  I think they had taken their characters as far as they could and got bored.  So they reinvented themselves.  You have to start with a new name to do it right.  As I recall, Sleeper tried and in-game change from ultra Ayn Rand to gentle liberal and no one bought it.  So he had to get "born again".  

Hey man, this is America, if you don't like what you've become, change it.  

Who was the guy who always said "gosh a ruddies" or something like that in all his responses? 

isadore, or possibly Sleeper Persona #2, as a lot of us guessed from time to time.

Right.  I forgot.  He really pushed that whole "gosh a ruddies" thing.  I think he wanted a brand for himself or something.  Probably had a hat made up with that saying.

Life is good. My sons are 9&7 now. They're growing up fast. Divorced (nasty and painful reckoning with a lot of things).  Remarried to a much better person, which has helped get life back on track. 

Still (technically) a lawyer, but I since moved into a managerial role and don't as much day-to-day legal work any more.

On the whole, can't complain. Happy to check in here. I mostly stopped posting because my workplace blocked the site, and posting much stuff on mobile is a real pain.

How are you doing? It's been awhile. 

Not too bad, still an engineer, still married (20+ years now), kids are 19, 17, and 14.

I forget, who paid someone not to tow his auto?
