I know! I'm still bumming about that, too. :( :( The Met simply won't be the same without you or without at least the prospect of meeting up afterwards to go and drool over Gale. You are very kind to humor me. :)

I'll definitely be thinking of you -- and missing you. However, I'm very excited for you. Denver is a gorgeous city and the Rocky Mountains are particularly spectacular in Colorado. I wish I were going to be there because then you could humor me when I drove you to Wyoming and made you tour the sites I dug at when I was still an archaeologist. ;)

Have a great time, m'dear, and I'll keep your cables safe for you until we meet again.
