valediction

so the best boss i've ever had has decided to move on...not just to another job, but to another state. was it something i said?! this is my farewell to you...

"what can i say except...”wonder twin’s powers, activate!...” you know i wouldn’t be me if i didn’t send you off with some parting words of wisdom...(cuz you know that i have so many years under my belt that i could actually offer some wisdom. but, i digress with that one...)
* ‘you need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.’ – nietzsche
* ‘beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.’ - thoreau
* ‘duct tape is like the Force. it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.'
* ‘a true friend is one that stabs you in the front.’ – oscar wilde
* ‘be who you are and say what you feel, because people who mind don’t matter, and people who matter don’t mind.’ – dr. seuss
* ‘don’t let your mouth get you into something your ass can’t get you out of.’

so, as you begin this new journey in your life, know that you will be missed you old salty dog you. and i will leave you with the words of richard bach, ‘don’t be dismayed at good-byes. a farewell is necessary before you can meet again. and meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.’ see you on the flipside brother."

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
