Des,
From the bottom of my heart I want to extend my CONGRATS!!
Congrats! This is a big step, and I'm sure it's the right one. I've really enjoyed working with you, and I can't wait to follow along on your direction. Your KJ's wont be able to have it any other way.
Can't believe it took you so long!

Good luck my dear friend - good things await! I'm excited to hear the great news and what you're working on.
