I’m still here.
Wow! Step away from an internet connection for two days and all sorts of crazy things happen, like you get outside and remember what natural light looks like and things don’t have a funny pixilated fuzz around the edges and your bald head gets battered by the sun.
Huh.Who’d have thunk it? There’s a whole other world outside the interweb….
So I haven’t blogged because I went out into the light and well, I, um, bought a jeep. It’s a fabulous fun story with lots of pictures, but I’m still hyperventilating so I’ll catch you all up tomorrow when I’m not getting worked to death by my boss.
He’s trying to make my last week memorable by running me in circles.
Stay tuned. Tomorrow shouldn’t suck.

Hey, Kiddo: Perhaps we are measured, in part, by the vacuum we create when we depart…whatever “depart” means. The greater space we create in others’ lives, the greater the vacuum, eh?
Soooo, big vacuum here, and that’s kudos to you! I’ll miss the little waves as I’m waiting, as impatiently as always, for the elevator. I’ll miss the little chats–we never did have the big ones–while your colleagues passed by wondering what the hell I wanted, or my colleagues wondered why I was standing in your company’s lobby, rather than in ours.
Thanks for you. Keep us apprised of your progress. Let me know about Scotland. Hey, I’ll be there in August with the junior pipe band (The Worlds in Glasgow…we’re going to kick some butt!).
Take care and Hugs, M

I’ll miss you too. Thank you for the beautiful parting gift. I’ll find a special place for it where the sun can make it shine.
Thanks for being a friendly face, a fun conversationalist and an over all good man. Having you across the hall has helped make a fabulous year here. And don’t worry… I’ll stay in touch.
Good Luck in Scotland!
Love
