Various bits of real life are swallowing my time, and I find that I need to take a brief sabbatical from the SDMBs. The mods are re-assigning my positions: like the Mad Tea-Party, I suspect, where everyone takes a bite from the teacup and moves one chair to the left.
Anyhow, I’m hoping to be back mid-April.
Good luck to all.
Right about the time the next Harry Dresden is due, eh? Take care of business, and bring back pie!
Good luck in your endeavors CK!
Wishing you all the best. You handle the important stuff and we’ll pick up the slack here for a couple of months.
Good luck, I hope it all works out well.
Hasta la vista, baby.
Leaving me and Marley in charge of Cafe Society? Bwah hah hah hah!
Um, I mean – vaya con Dios, Dex. We’ll leave a light on for you.
Good luck with the demands of life, Dex. 
Awesome.
I guess I better start knitting my parachute. 
Godspeed, sir. If real life involves cats, return with photos!
Are you running for elected office? You need to work on the accent.
Be safe.
Whew… well at least you didn’t say I’m off to hike the Appalachian Trail!
Good luck to you, Mr. Haven, and we’ll see you when we see you.
{Saddly waves goodbye} Stay safe, and come back soon.
Is this a preemptive goodbye thread? Do you thank us for all the fish?
I’ll miss ya, even though I haven’t seen you around as much as used to. You were the first modministrator I ever interacted with, and so you kinda symbolize this board for me.

Have fun storming the castle!
Sorry life is being so unfair. Hope things get better soon.
Dex was the voice of reason on the old AOL board.
Looking forward to the return in Spring.
Bye. Come back soon. We’ll be good in the meantime.
