Thank you all so much! I'm not going to the office this week (which is somewhat different than "on vacation").
Your wishes mean a great deal to me, as this online community includes many dear friends.
Shawn - I liked that quote a lot.
Yes, there will be expensive beer later. From Belgium, California, Quebec and elsewhere.
I can smell homemade banana muffins RIGHT NOW! And no, it's not some kind of olifactory hallucination or double entendre. It's breakfast. Did you see that Looney Tune where Sylvester says to tweety "Helloooo Breakfast!". I always loved that one.
You people are wonderful, and I love having you as part of my life.
