You, sir, would be greatly missed. You are a great addition to every thread you comment on.
And your trip reports make for excellent reading. My mom was a member of the Journalism Hall of Fame. Because of her love of words and the way she adored a well-put-together article, I made her read one of your reports several years ago. She laughed out loud, as did my adult children. Me? You're so entertaining that silly tears have been known to form in my eyes during major giggles.
Please do not go.
