`   ==It's been fun==  Geogre, I'd hoped to get a chance to say good-bye to you ``in person' before heading out to the swing states, but since that , I'll do it in public here. My ``email this user`` link will still work, although what chance I'll have to access email when in the field, I don't know. But if you can, please keep me apprised of major events in your own life.  `
