So that pretty well wraps it up. I want to express a special thank you to John Whitney, S.J. who allowed me this time away. I promised him I would come back and even though tempted, I am once again back at my post. Also, thanks to Pam who picked up all the chores while I was away, not a minor task.
So cheers, I hope you enjoyed some of the journey with me.
