[Magdalen] Winding down.

As the song says, 'it only hurts for a little while.'  Just how long 'a 
little while' may be is certainly very personal.

Good luck with this transition, Mike.

I and my boss are the only two non-executive-managerial sorts whose work never stops, so as long as my computer and phone are here, I/we will be too.  I may lose my office chair for the last bit, and sit on a hard, seemingly WWII issue metal chair for the duration.  But more than likely, when the chair goes tomorrow afternoon, I probably will too, and spend the last moments of the week arranging my new cubicle.

Salinas used to have all the greats:  Schilling, Smuckers, Nestle, Hershey, Peter-Paul, you name it.  I remember liking it as a kid when the wind would shift and I'd get a whiff of fresh chocolate.
