To hell with being on-topic, since this list is generally never on-topic for an entire thread anyway. This has been a roller-coaster year for some of us --- certainly myself included --- but the year has come to a close. I want to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a safe and wonderful new year. May 2009 be ten times healthier, happier, and more prosperous to you and yours than the three best years of your life so far, and may each year beyond that be better even than the one before. And as a side note (some of you already know): for my wife and I closing out the year, we heard the heartbeat of our first child for the first time today in the ultrasound. Nothing else will ever again matter as much to me as what I am about to embark upon. I don't think any song or sound I've ever heard in my entire life was as beautiful as those few seconds. My heart literally feels so full that it could burst at any moment. To all of you, thank you for being a part of the PHP project, and many of you professional and personal parts of my life. Of all of the communities I've been involved in the last sixteen years or so, this has always been my favorite. And it's because of you folks. From the bottom of my (bursting!) heart, thank you, and I look forward to working alongside all of you in 2009. All the best.... -- </Daniel P. Brown>
Ahhh, you made me all teary-eyed. Best wishes to you and yours -- I am sure the best is yet to come. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
