Big Cal,
I'll miss you on here so much. I've got your email address already, but I do hope you'll come back eventually. You're such an important part of this community, and I never fail to enjoy the maturity, sensibility and humor of your posts. I know what you mean about the politics situation causing dismay, however. I don't think I can continue to participate in that board any longer, either, and I know what you mean about it leaving a bad taste in your mouth about this whole place. Just such destructive, awful exchanges there. If I were an advertiser and saw that stuff go on, I'd take my advertising dollars elsewhere. It reflects negatively on the whole community.

Take care of yourself, Cal. Good luck with the baby plans! And I hope we'll see you soon. --Bird
