Because I am much more adept at drawing bunnies than emus, I’m going to ask you to imagine the bunnies below AS emus. It will just make more sense as I bid farewell from the active and move into the Emeriti.
Thank you, thank you all my EMU pals! My active EMU status has expired but the past two years have been special and I will treasure them always. My launch week would have paled without you all and your celebratory levity. I look forward to your launches with joy and will laud each and every one of them. But for now I will be in the Emeriti Lounge.
You all are the very best.
