It's like I told you last night - I can't fucking believe you're leaving. Let me know if you need me and JoJo on Thursday or Friday. Mr. Smith and I will always reserve a spot for you at our place if you need it - were it not for you loving us both, he and I would have never met and be headed down the aisle in a month. So thanks. I love you. For all of it.

Wow it seems like just the other day when you took the reigns of EIC from Rachelle. Best wishes on continued success. Spread the word back in the apple that we have the better dawgs and pies. ;-)

Margaret! I was away from the interwebs these last few days but I had to tell you that I'll always remember our margarita'ed talk about grad school last spring. You were probably right. Good luck, my dear. Knock 'em down and keep 'em dead. lk

Margaret, no! What the eff! Oh man, now I won't have hilarious comments to hunt for or song lyrics to look for anymore. Good luck, you. Kick some ass in the Apple. Chicago will always have a spot for you.

Please know that you did an amazing job here and for someone who used to rant about 'How Chicagoist kept on employing writers who didn't know sh*t about Chicago' - your work was noticed and appreciated. Good job and I hope the current staff keeps up your high standards. Rock on with your bad self.

Oh no! I'm saddened by this. The rest of you guys have some big shoes to fill here now.

I always loved your weather postings. I'm a closet meteorology geek and read too much. Playing spot the quote and enjoying/dreading the coming climate? A constant treat. Best of luck in all you do and say, and sorry for ever being a pain in your tuchus.

Congrats. I don't know anything except your various writings, but what I know is you are a damn talented writer--one of the best bylines in the city--who, as noted above, could actually make an anti-TV snob care about the world of TV. Hope to see your byline in bigger and better places. Best of luck.
