Thank you so much to everyone for your support and encouragement!

I hope you have enjoyed living vicariously through us for a time, and I hope that I may have at least convinced one of you to take on such an adventure of your own! It is definitely worth it!

So long! And thanks for all the fish!

  1. I hope your math students enjoyed all the stats.. I did, in spades. So, is the blog over? It's like the end of Seinfeld.

    Kim's apartment is pretty nice. What is Michele up to?

    Take care you guys, and thanks for keeping us part of the adventure.

  2. What the hell are we supposed to read now! Aunt Fran sends her 'good job' sentiment. We feel we were right there with you all the way...but how come our legs don't look as toned as yours? What a milestone.

  4. I can't believe you did it, two months. Your thunder thighs cause earthquakes to the insignificant villages you so have passed. Let me know if you ever make it back to NYC. Have a nice body of Scotch ready
