If I weren't so :) for Brad, I cannot even fathom how :( I'd be.

I am extremely sad to see Brad leaving. :( See...and Lucy and Ethel too since they've grown used to you sitting for them. But hey it's all good it's not a final goodbye it's only see you later. I forget who said that to me about goodbyes since i hate goodbyes. Doesn't make it any easier but at least tolerable. Still won't be the same but you'd better come on here and post.

My sad cheese is brightened slightly by the thoughts of excuses to visit Hawaii. Hmmm..... I've never been..... Obviously the proper way to work through this grief is to plan a group swanking to Hawaii.

Well, I am looking forward to seeing pics of Brad as he travels the globe. Like a swanking I can be jealous over, Sydney Swnking with the LashPair!

(pea green with envy icon goes here)

Yes Brad... Once you get all settled in your Hawaiian digs, you'll have to let us know when we can all come over to visit in one big group swanking.

We can all stay at your place, right? (Hope you have enough towels!)

Towels, hell, a truckload of bacon!

I dunno 'bout bacon, but he'll still have lots of that Hawaiian macaroni salad left over. :p

I think that macaroni salad will still be around when the last sun goes out, and the universe collapses in on itself.

Well, last night GC had the magical touch. As the amazing Christmas fireworks were ending and Baby Jesus was shot across the sky, instead of having they typical disney "snow," god gave us rain, on cue. "White Christmas" became "Wet Christmas."

Thanks Brad.
