Re: Goodbye...

Thank you all for the kindest of thoughts.

As time permits, I may get to visit occasionally... but Life has a way of making us reprioritize things as we get older.

Facing Age 60 in late February 2017... That just doesn't seem possible.

Fare thee well my friends and my fellow Descent'ers!
