OK,...well, we'll miss you
We'll certainly miss hearing from you, and we'll be worrying about your total massive changes. Then, "we'll" try to get it together and realize that you're probably deliriously happy, since you're happiest and most satisfied when you're busybusybusy and accomplishing something totally MAJOR. REMEMBER TO POST ANY NEW MAILING ADDRESS THAT YOU GET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Until then, to Managua! XO
