I'm excited about getting to The Gates on Sunday... I find that I begin to miss playing when I haven't been there in a few weeks. It's going to be difficult for me to adjust to my more limited schedule. I greatly wish that I had enough time to be there at least once a week, but it's just not going to be possible for the next few months. Although, I am happy to report that I am finding a great deal of satisfaction in being so close to graduating and I simply adore my part-time job (which is in the field to which I'll be graduating).

So, let me again repeat myself to end the rumors: I'm not planning on retiring when I graduate. I have every intention of continuing to see my favorite regulars (and hopefully, occasional interesting new playthings).

I do know it's been hard to make an appointment with me, and I appreciate all the emails I've received to help me make plans. And, if you want to see me but are unable to get an appointment, please feel free to email me and ask me to recommend someone. I'd be happy to do so.
