Hello, you wonderful people. This exchange between Russ, Marcy and Graham reminded me of why I like "youse guys" so much ! I will sure miss seeing all of you at Inkshed--self-effacing, brash, just-this-side-of-obnoxious, polite, fairly reticent, self-promoting, or all of the above. Best wishes to all! I'll be thinking of you.
