And a welcome from me the non-welcoming, welcoming committee. Jump on in. The water is fine. The best way to play is to play. (yes, yes, see? I'm the deep one) 

And The New Yorker!? Ha...nice to see you about and look forward to the talents you bring. (Oh the same for the others too, just I remember Serge, so I know what to except. Some pretty good writing.)

Missing Dot already, but I'll hang on.

Now, my cookies are gone, so what's for breakfast?
