I retire from the Baggins Clan

[Kev]

Hey Miles, sorry to hear your clan duties have left you drained my friend.


You've been a wise and respected wizard and we'll be desperately sorry to see you go but it sounds like you are about to go through a big life change.

Yuo quitting your job and moving back home for a while? I presume you and your missus are ok?

Good luck with whatever you decide to do Miles, you're one of my oldest friends on the board, and were the first person to welcome me to Saddo's when I joined all those years ago, just a wee sprog of a halfling that I was.

Seriously hope things are ok with you Miles.

Its not so much a case of quitting my job as a case of a tough contract coming to an end. Im drained and any magic or spark is gone. The wife and I are okay. She can see more than anyone that what I have been doing has been wearing me down and leaving me tired and old. My mum isnt well off and needs help financially and I can provide that. She needs my direct help. And I need old comforts too. Like I said elsewhere, its a case of fixing my sleeping issues, finishing my masters and managing to resolve my conflicts between life at home and life in Korea.

Im grateful for a very supportive wife, without whom I would probably have gone much madder much longer ago. Im okay, but then Im not okay. Going home cannot alienate me much more from anything. So that is what I will do.

I like the symoblism of Gandalf. It fits me quite well. But the Clan is not a serious thing these days and when I post I want to be just miles. At least for the time being.

Well they say a change is as good as a rest and it sounds like this will do you well.

I understand what you mean about just wanting to be Miles for now, I guess it's hard to try and take your life seriously and plan some serious changes when you post in a forum under the guise of an elderly wizard.

Indeed. Im always miles so thats okay if I go awol for a long time. But as Gandalf thats not so okay because the hobbit folk might miss me sometimes. Its unlikely, but, it is a possibility.

Don't worry I'd miss you but as Miles, not Gandalf.

You can take your costume off and still be friend of Bilbo. Obviously I'll keep mine as I don't know how to be anyone else now, my online alter ego has consumed me and I am indeed more hobbit than human these days
