Congrats Hedzup!
You know we've all been rooting for you!
I have been using you as an example of persistent determination. A few of us know that you have been trying to sell your house and move down for just about two years now. I'm happy you finally made it! Don't be surprised if I show up for a hair cut soon. ;-)
