(This is a few days late, but I wanted to get the official word before posting.)

Everybody please join me in extending sincere and hearty congratulations to Geobabe on her graduation from Smith College. A few more geologists like you and we’ll have this planet figured out in no time. Kickass, and rock on!

Aww, thanks everybody. Hugs and smooches all around.

Gosh, if only I had known one of the bennies of a Smith education was a personal slave, I’d have gone years ago! Oh, BTW, **manhattan** , I still have a position for a cabana boy that remains unfilled. Might you be interested?

Way to go, what a relief eh?
