At the risk of sounding mushy...

We're getting down to the wire here folks... On one hand, my day of departure couldn't come quickly enough! I'm thinking "OKAY BRING IT! IT'S ON!! I'M READY TO DO THIS UP HARDCORE!!!" but on the other hand, I think of you guys... Then i start to wish i had even more time at home so that I could visit you.. Let me just say, that you've each rubbed off on me whether you know it or not. Going away makes me realize how amazing where I'm from is.. And i'm so proud to know all of you. I feel so lucky and unique to have crossed paths with so many colourful individuals and my life has been ANYTHING but boring. I couldn't ask for anything more. It seemed appropriate to leave you with this thought... It's the song that we'd sing to close the campfire that we had on Friday evenings at camp before the kids went home. I'm not going to insert the "mmmm"s.. so again, P.O.

At the risk of sounding mushy...
Mmmm, I want to linger a little longer,
A little longer here with you my friends.
It’s such a perfect night, it doesn’t seem quite right
That this should be my last with you.
But come September, I will remember
My camping days and nights with you my friends,
And as the years go by, I’ll think of you and sigh--
"THIS IS GOODNIGHT BUT NOT GOODBYE!!"
