Sort of like stepping into a theater after striking a show and hoping that the sets will still be there, the orchestra will be warming up and your wacky performer friends will be warmly greeting you. But instead its quiet and dark. And it makes you feel a little sad and lonely but then you're filled with the warmth of the wonderful memories created in that place. Now, I'm not saying that G40 was the next coming of <i>Rent</i> but it was a damn fine place for us to share your journey and enjoy your gifts and talents. Well done, Scott. We all hope to be reading your work again very soon.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806372610090186350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265758111946440722.post-32135087444367061142009-06-01T21:22:24.999-05:002009-06-01T21:22:24.999-05:00Farewell, I have enjoyed your blog/journey.

Time to start thinking of some killer titles that will sell like hotcakes at Urban Outfitters.<br /><br />Thanks for taking us all along on this journey. I'm so proud of you, not only for getting your degree with elan (and magna cum laude) but also for setting the blog bar so very high. It was always a pleasure to discover that you had posted something for us to read, ponder, and then try to come up with a retort that would be clever enough for you, and for the community that surrounded Going 40.<br /><br />Speaking of which, it was also a treat to make some new friends through your blog. I hope you won't make us wait too long before we can have a (semi-safe) place to bow down at your feet and worship you again.<br /><br />Thanks, friend. And well done.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391629481954516062noreply@blogger.com
