Phil, it looks like the last time my fellow Oklahoman posted here was in July.
Doug, if you're reading, I don't know you, but your intelligent and witty participation here has always set a good example for me to follow. I hope all's well, and that you will post again soon!

Don't worry Clive...I will stock the Merkur blades. I had so many Merkur products that were back-ordered that I did not place a new holiday order...I simply took receipt of back-ordered items. It will have to wait until January.

Greetings to all, and happy holidays!
Technically, Phil produced me, so I will leave it to you guys to haggle about the Merkur quid-pro-quo.
I am still alive and kicking, living in Jenks, Oklahoma, and doing mostly what I've always done. The wetshaving bug left me suddenly quite some time back, and today I am mostly getting by with a Mach 3 and a brushless cream like Kiss My Face Moisture Shave or Nancy Boy. I still break out the Merkurs and brushes a couple of times a month, though -- as I did today.
For a while, all the dough I had been spending on shaving gear went into fountain pens, but that bug has left me, too. I became fond of the startup makers Edison Pen Co. and TWSBI, and I have several of the cheaper Lamys also. I'm a Diamine ink guy.
I'm still working at The University of Tulsa, where I plan to stay until the kids reach college age, because a tuition-free education will be an option for them as kids of an employee. Ben is 11 now, and Emma is 13, so the Mrs. and I are doing a lot of the driving back and forth routine.
We're active these days at All Souls Church here in Tulsa, which is a Unitarian-Universalist congregation. The theology there, to the extent there is one, is quite different from what I grew up with, but I've not found a more welcoming and interesting group of people. Both the Mrs. and I are volunteering with the children's education department. (Two Sundays ago, I accompanied the 7th graders on a field trip to the local Hindu temple, which was a fascinating experience.)
I'm no longer home brewing, simply because I got tired of lifting large vessels filled with fluid in various stages of beerness. In the new year, I'll be swearing off alcohol and sodas as part of a weight-loss effort.
Also in the new year, I will take up a dormant hobby -- home recording. I dabble in a little guitar and bass, and I have enough of a setup to lay down some basic tracks. I'll be doing it simply as a diversion, and it will take a while to knock off the rust. But at least it's a "creative" hobby instead of a "consumptive" hobby.
I will make an effort to check in here more often and be, if not an obsessively regular presence, at least not so much of a stranger. My social media life has focused on Facebook and active participation on the Tulsa World web boards under a pseudonym.
Let me know what I've missed -- other prodigal users, discontinued favorites, etc.
Best regards to all, and heartfelt wishes for a healthy, happy, and rewarding 2013!
All best,
Doug
