what a party.

thanks to everyone who made it to my going away party. it was a blast. the diverses mix of friends and family was quite interesting, even made me a bit nervous as connor, jim, leone & mink arrived w/their gift (lets just say it wasn't exactly pg rated). fortunatly all in attendance had a sense of humor. guests came from near and far, with the nearest being my nextdoor neighbors paul, pam & their sons and the award for most miles traveled going to my good friend jim dingman who flew in from hawaii. honerable mention goes to my sister & brother-in law (indiana), my cousin sarah (mississippi) and cousin kate (rhode island). thanks again to everyone for being there, it was great to see you all before i leave.
