I've put this off as long as I can, but the time has come I guess. As a few of you know, on Oct. 10th I am going to have to leave Pixie's for a while. I am going overseas until next Aug. for the military. I am going to be in Europe, thankfully not Iraq. Due to my only having access to monitored computers, I probably won't be able to check in here till I get back. But let me assure you, you will be on my mind. I have grown very close to many of you here and I consider you dear friends. Some I even consider family. I want to thank each and everyone of you for making this such a special place. Please feel free to email me and keep me up to date with how things are going here. Luv you guys!

I was actually thinking about this when I saw your Love post a minute ago--I knew you'd told me October. Go keep them in line, darogle, and know we'll all be thinking about you. You've been an excellent addition to Pixies and a joy in the games. Please give us a shout when you can.

Good luck and all that stuff Darogle...always a pleasure.

Dragole, best of luck and we'll C YA when you get back.

Oh yeah, and a big THANKS from me for doing what I would not likely be able to do. Keep safe and hurry back.

Perhaps you can tell them you desperately need to check in with your Aunt Pixie?

Keep your ass down and your spirits up! And hurry back home to us safely.

Oh, and Cheyanne...I love the pic!!! We still have to educate Cobalt, don't we??? Perhaps a double date when I get back....

Hang in there Darogle. We'll keep good thoughts and prayers for you while you're away.
