So many familiar names, and some new faces, too -- I'm glad some of you came out of lurkdom to say hello. And, what a nice surprise to get a comment from Nick Cho who happens to run what I think is the greatest coffee shop in the entire DC metro area -- Murky Coffee on Capitol Hill. Hi, Nick!<BR/><BR/>There's so much I want to say about everyone's sweet, sweet comments, and yet I think I can say it best with this: thank you. And wear sunscreen.

It didn't take much to get rid of the bad cells. It took quite a bit longer to wrap my head around the whole situation.
