Oh yeah, I'll get to spend more time with you, too!<br /><br />On the other hand, I've enjoyed watching (and occasionally helping) you become an accomplished writer who excels at comma placement. I'll miss the commentary you provide when examining your site meter ("someone found my blog by googling 'does size matter to a woman?'!"). And I was occasionally delighted by some of the minis you encouragingly passed along to me.<br /><br />I'm proud of this little blog and of you!
