Logtar, Thanks for the mention on Twitter people you will miss. I didn’t get to know you as much as I wish I could have, but I wish you and Bea the very best in Chicago.

I never said I was pissed. I said I wasn’t happy. There is a difference. We love you & Bea. And yes having Bea here was like having one of my sisters here(without the parental stress). It’s not just the talking french. I know people who speak french. Bea has lived there. She knows. I can’t put into words clearly. I will miss you both. And wish you all kinds of success & happiness. J’vous aime tous les deux!

I can speak for both of us when I say that Mike and I will miss you both so much! You have provided us with so much support, and for that we are truly grateful. I know I’ll never forget my first salsa dancing experience with you for the rest of my life, John! You’ve really got the moves! You’ll have to cut in on Mike and dance with me at the wedding someday. I promise you’ll be one of the first people to know when that happy chapter begins.

Congrats on your news, bro. Wait a minute… you didn’t even ask us back here in Illinois if we even want you back. =)

Well, the odds of Mark L and myself visiting you in the future just went up a whole lot. Not sure if that is good or bad for you though =)

Just wanted to say God Bless and glad you made it home safely. Your perspective on KC will be missed greatly.

To say that the two of you will definitely be missed around KC would be a big understatement. I wish I could make it out to your farewell party next week, but working night shift isn’t exactly conducive to evening plans. I’ll most certainly be there with you all in spirit. Best of luck with the new journey, both in job and in life. You’ll always have the family back here in Kansas City.

Did you get a new job — what’s prompting the move? Hope all goes well for you both!

I’m jealous that you are moving to Chicago! There are so many more fun things to do there than there are here in KC. Don’t get me wrong, I love KC, but Chicago has OPTIONS! You’ll have to have a bag of cheese/caramel popcorn from Garrett’s for me.

Best of luck with the move. My health is improving so I’m MUCH more likely to be able to meet you and Bea, which I’ve been looking forward to for years. Plus you won’t just be breezing through.

I was floored to see you two were moving! You’ve left a wonderful legacy here in Kansas City and will be missed. Best of luck in Chicago!

Meesha, and whoever did not make the list, don’t take it personal… the people that made the list have either been to my place or I have been to theirs.

I will miss you Meesha, but more interestingly you have already made it deeper into my personal web than others. You and burro interact with each other and I was part of the initial connection, that I think is ubber cool. Beyond that, you are also more than welcome to come and crash in one of your IKEA trips. Bea already ordered the freaking catalog.

Also there are plenty of other people that don’t blog that are just as important as the ones on this list!

That troll so called Shane is made up!

Wow – that’s 3 great writers shouldering their way to Chicago in as many months.
Congratulations on both the job and the move – from your posts I expect you guys will be happier in Chi-town. KC is a pleasant little burg, but it is not a true city in the best sense, though it does have a good grasp on parochialism…

Keep writing, both of you.
Cor!
