Adieu
It is with regret that I announce to you all, that after 6965 days, I am leaving Red Hot Pawn.
6965 days
995 weeks
228 months, 25 days
19 years, 25 days
It both does seem that long and doesn't seem that long.
I'm leaving to pursue my other interests in life, including finishing my masters degree, and my ongoing efforts to improve the lives of the homeless in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
To my clan, The Misfits, I say that I am proud to have played on the same team as all of you. You are all the best, and have upheld the very things I tried to promote: Honesty, Fairness and Integrity. You should all be proud of the time we've spent together.
"So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!"
And before anyone else can say it, I leave you all with this:
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
