You think you can just leave? You think you can go cold turkey? We'll see, indio. You'll be back. Until then good luck with the mind-numbing tedium of planting flower bulbs and trimming hedges.

If you find you do wish to return to building or whatever you find most satisfaction in hereabouts, you are always welcome. I've enjoyed working with you, and your productivity and creativity has been an inspiration to myself and others who have been building for NWN2. Your contributions to our NWN2 transition will continue to be enjoyed by ALFAns in your absence; and hopefully some of your work for Waterdeep and Skullport will make it to Live as well in time.

In the meantime, enjoy the additional time freed up for other, more worldly pursuits!

Thanks for all the gorgeous work you've done for ALFA, indio. Your building has been an inspiration for me, and a joy to behold whenever I roam through one of your areas. Your generous aid to fledgling builders will be sorely missed.

I´ll be over to look at that garden of yours in a year or so indio! If it´s as great as your building, it should be a nice visit ;)

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Your journey has had its ups and downs, but your legacy at ALFA will forever be an inspiration to so many of us who had the chance to work with you. You spent your time here with a vigor and enthusiasm - a passion - second to none, and I hope you chart your new course knowing that you've made an indelible impression on us all. Such an ending is thus a real loss for ALFA but it is a win for you.

Turn the page. Begin a new chapter. Your future beckons and it will be a bright one. :)

I hope we cross paths again some day. Until we do, Godspeed my friend.

All of you are so very kind. How overwhelming.

It's true, Wynna. The office is now a series of boxes ready to be moved to the shed. I told my son I was finished with the computers, that I'd done all I needed to do. He assisted me packing the office with enthusiasm.

And Burt, you old pirate, my idea of a garden is not about flowers...it's about earth-moving, paving, dams, channels, waterfalls, boulders and trees. Come to think of it, it's just like the toolset, but harder on the back. I'll post photos in Off Topic at some point.

Vendrin, Skullport will need to be adopted, or it can be shelved. I'm no longer able to offer any support for it, but I will always be grateful to both you and Darren for offerring to help out. Sorry if the timing is bad, but it's now or never.

Thanks to all who have posted and made this transition smoother for me. Some of you write the most beautiful things, and all mean a lot to me.

Sorry to see you go Indio. May I be the first to say you've come a long way these past few years baby. Glad to see you so grounded... literally.

When it comes to gardens I have a black thumb so I have no advice to offer so instead I'll just say thanks for everything you've done.

Cya after your long break ;)

Sad news, but our deepest thanks are in order. My most fun times in this game have been tromping around the worlds you created. It was a great distraction from reality, exactly when I needed it most. Thank you and good luck, you'll be missed!
