As the sun slowly sinks in the West...

As much as I enjoy this thread, the reality is that there doesn't seem to be a large neough number of people who are interested in posting, and the thread keeps slipping off the bottom of the screen.
I'm willing to try keeping it above water, but not to the point that
it risks being a vanity thread. We all have better things to do than have this be a Jerry Rasmussen thread.

Through time, several friends who post here have shared their e-mail address with me: Joe Offer, Elmer Fudd, Jayto, jimmyt, and others. What I'm suggesting is that if you'd like to receive e-mails from me (and HOPEFULLY, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING) please e-mail me at geraldrasmussen@SBCglobal.net. Then I can add you to my list of friends. Many of my e-mails are about the things I am writing about, with common references to my faith. If you'd rather not receive those, say "No faith writing, please." (I have several good friends who are atheists who want to read the stuff that I am writing anyway.)

Most of all, I enjoy the friendships that I've made in here, and would like to keep in touch. Mudcat has evolved, as all good things do. I'm all for evolution. It's natural that people have coalesced into groups of shared interests. Unfortunately, many friends of mine have drifted away from Mudcat, not out of dissatisfaction but because when they scan down the list of topics, there's not enough to interest them. Count me among them. I still love Mudcat and will drop in periodically and post when I see a thread that interests me.
I'm ready to send my manuscript off to a publisher, and two of the chapters originally were posted here on Mudcat, so I give credit to this place and many of the friends that I've made here for spurring me on to write.

Before this thread sinks below the horizon for good, I'll keep it alive in hopes that some of you will read the thread and decide that you'd like to keep in touch through e-mails.

Life is good. Mudcat is good. Sunsets are beautiful.
