I wish I wasn't writing this now. On the several occasions I've seen our matches this season I'd always tried to get there early enough to look up the Not606ers at the Con or wherever a meet was planned but, as usual, last minute.com ruled and I was too late to make it. Today's sad news that Brix has passed on to the terrace in the sky has really made me think that a modicum of effort should have been put in on those occasions and I should have had the opportunity to meet him and to have told him how much I appreciated what he had done for all of us and how much I admired his efforts that have made this such an enjoyable board. This really does underline that old saying 'Life is too short'...
Exactly the same for me sooper. 2 or 3 times I could have made it, but I was always too busy - I'll do it next time. I need to evaluate a few things in and about my life, and I'm going to make some changes. This is my life and it's about time I started living. It's all work at the moment, early starts, late finishes, always trying to get a step ahead, but for what? Haven't put my kids to bed for weeks. I'm missing stuff and when I sort it, I'll look up and say thanks to Brix. Big opportunity missed, never to have met such a good man.
I've always tried to remain anonymous for one reason or another but feel I have missed out on meeting a great human being!
Me too. Wish I'd made the effort to meet the man now. This has really brought home to me not only the fact that life is short, but also that each and every one of the posters on here are real flesh and blood people, not just a bunch of anonymous usernames.
I'm only 38 mins from London by train. There are games and meets I could've made but I've been too tied up in my own little world. I will make at least 1 meet next season I promise. I feel I've missed out because of my own making and that makes me sad
