That sound you hear? It's either yr humble correspondent falling in a heap on the floor or, alternately, dancing a jig on the ceiling. It's over! Done! Yippee-yi-ay! Woohoo! The dedication of our new building, and it went off w/o a hitch on one of the prettiest days we've had here all year. This thing sucked ALL of the oxygen out of the room for far too long, and I look forward to life returning to normal, albeit it much nicer and more civilized environs.
P.S. That grass you see, it didn't exist before 11 a.m. on Thursday. I wish I had a "before" pic. Dirt, sweet gum balls, roots everywhere, all uneven. My queendom for a grounds crew. They created a yard, plants and all, for us in three days. Three!Days!

Congratulations! I was there, but not lucky enough to be able to get close enough to you or Harry or Bill to say congratulations in person. It was a lovely event. Guess I'll have to come take a tour sometime soon.

Thanks, Sally! Come on by; folks have been dropping in today, and I'm sure they'll continue to do so. The view from the porch is fine...

Why didn't I attend Chapel Hill? Duh!
