It was a nice surprise when I stopped by here yesterday and had a comment from a long lost friend and fellow blogger.

Some of you may remember him as FTS (aka Follow That Star).  FTS did follow his star and last year, he moved to Colorado ... where he promptly disappeared!

There were rumors that he had hiked into the wilderness, become hopelessly lost and was living the life of Jeremiah Johnson.  The problem was that he would rather pet the furry critters romping through the wilds than use them for food, clothing and shelter.  How he managed to find his way back to civilization was never part of the story.

It was also rumored that he had become involved with a rouge clan of cave bears planning to take over all of the large supermarkets, as well as the local 7-Eleven stores, but when he insisted that their battle cry be sung to the tune of "The Sound of Music," his leadership came to a screaming halt.  The clan managed to sneak out of the cave in the middle of the night, leaving FTS all alone with nothing but a box of stale donuts.

Many speculated that he had climbed so high into the Rockies the he had accidentally stumbled upon a hidden alien settlement and they had held him there against his will.  However, these being space aliens, not illegal aliens, they soon realized that their hair grew so slowly that a single cut would last them well into the next millennium.  As soon as they were all cut and coiffed, they asked him to leave.

How he managed to escape all of these wild creatures and aliens is any body's guess, but the end result is his return to the land of the living. 

Though no longer known as FTS, (his new moniker is Snowball ... which I'm thinking may have had something to do with those bears ... ) he has also returned to the Blog world.

Welcome back, SNOWBALL!
