Thank you very much for the messages and phone calls, I certainly appreciate them all.

This one was not as crazy as last year but it was a great day. I met up with a couple of friends for lunch and a couple of meetings kept me from taking the day off. To put a great finishing touch on the day, Sarah took me out for drinks and a fantastic dinner.

Thank you (oh, you know who you are) for the gifts too. The iPod dock, the cologne and the camera-fund seed money will be put to great use and I do look forward to the spring and go hiking once again!
