Hi, all.
 
This is Sandee's Hoomin speaking, and I just want to say what a pleasure
and a priviledge it has been to be Sandee's helper over the last full
year.  You FML people have taught me a lot about love, the power and
persistence of love.  You have let me share some of your darkest moments,
and together, we have walked back into the light.  I will never forget
the lessons you have taught me.
 
I have decided that a year is long enough for me.  It is time for me to
pass the torch to a new Hoomin, and you will meet her shortly.  I chose
her very carefully,(Well, Sandee did get a vote) and have full faith in
her ability.  She knows which Greetings are pending, never fear.
 
Some may wonder if my leaving now has anything to do with the recent
departure of Muldoone.  Honestly, that is just a coincidence in timing.
The new Hoomin and I have been planning this passing of the torch for
some time.  I still harbor a faint hope that Muldoone may yet return,
some day!
 
May I also mention how much I have enjoyed working with Muldoone, and
with Saraferret?  She of the small strange head and peculiar accent?
Saraferret will be staying on, never fear.([log in to unmask])
I must thank BIG, also, for the many times he has helped out quietly,
behind the scenes, when we needed a little help at the Bridge.
 
And Sandee, of course, will be staying on, at her new address at
([log in to unmask])
 
It has been an honor to share the Afterworld of my imagination with you
all.  May the Big Boss smile upon you.
 
The Hoomin
