I'm leaving DU.
For at least the next little bit. I may check in from time to time, but, you see, it appears I'm going to be something of a GRANDPA.

All is well, health abounds, and come May a basket of joy, and hopefully a lot of growing up for a sudden mom. In the meantime, I assign my duties here in the Lounge to Rabrrrrr, who hopefully will carry out the task and make us all proud, or something. :D

...and I'll tell you what I told my co-workers: If any of you are my Secret Santa, the answer is "bourbon". ;)

:hi: Adios, wish me luck.

7. Are you appointing a dingbat to serve in your absence?
Because I am afraid of what will happen if an "interim" appointment is made. :evilgrin:

21. An awesome responsibility - bringing the next ones along.
Whew! The possibilities are immense. Go well and be well. There's always bourbon and a glass with your name on it here waiting for you. A Dios.

23. And just how am I supposed to live up to your example?
It's too much responsibility! Though I am honored that you thought of me.

And congratulations to you on your impending grandpahood! :woohoo:

24. I think you just need to throw in some gratuitous references
to dingbattedness and occasionally mention the sled dogs. You should still be able to keep up a rigorous schedule of miscellaneous rants.
