Welcome, Eric! Its great to have you here. I know all about 'starting over' as I've done it twice now! The first time I grew orchids, I was still in high school and had a nice little collection of Phals and Catts. When I went away to university, I gave my plants away. University turned into a job, a series of house moves, starting a family, etc. So, there I found myself, after so many years, starting another small collection (this time of Masdevallia) after having moved over from the US to England. After 4 years, we got sent to live in India for 2 years, and the plants had to again be 'farmed out' to friends. Alas, none of them were still alive when I got back, so I was once again starting from scratch just over three years ago.
It is fun and exciting, in a way, as I can remember being absolutely floored at the yellow Phals that were being sold as pot plants in the supermarkets! When I had first been growing, they were just starting to produce some watery yellow attempts in breeding in that direction. (I remember having a Bamboo Baby all those years ago - if my memory is any good at all - and thinking how wonderful and unique its colouring was.)
I'm sure you will enjoy this hobby, like me, more than you ever did before! And Orchid Board is one of the reasons why!
Again, welcome!!
