Congratulation on the new employment. I hope for a smooth transition for all of you -- and indeed for all of us, though I promise to do my very best to be a patient, go-with-the-flow sort of bear in case it isn't.

Max, here's a toast to you (in coffee, but I'm at work so that can't be helped) for your dedication to our Mudcat village. I like this one because it's so full of blessings:

Salud, amor y pesetas -- y el tiempo para gustarlos.
(Health, love and money -- and the time to enjoy them.)
