Alicia, I am looking forward to your having a little more time for your own work, too, though you will be missed. Enjoy toddlerville, it passes too quickly (she says, hoping to experience grandtoddlerville in a few years

Thanks for all the time you've invested here. I'm reading Hapax now, though, and all I can say is "More, please." I hope that you can give more time to your own work, as well as to Jason.

Thanks for all you've done. There's a wealth of good stuff in Mastery, and I always learn a lot whenever I lurk here.

Alicia,

Thanks for all the excellent comments you've provided, and for having been a great captain of the forum. Your work was definitely noticed and appreciated. Toddlerworld is lucky to have you, and I'm sure you'll do just as well on that front. I look forward to seeing additional posts--and poems--at whatever pace your life allows.

I read the thread name, "Retirement from Mastery," and for a millisecond I thought that you intended to stop producing masterful poems yourself, Alicia. Perish the thought!

Best wishes in your new (and old) endeavors. Sincere thanks for your past contributions, especially to this board. And I look forward to seeing you around the 'Sphere as time permits.

KEEP POETRY ALIVE AND WELL IN GREECE!
