'Tis time to bid farewell to the Queen City

These are the final strokes I shall enter from this keyboard. My tenure here at FMSM engineers has come to a close. Yet I cant help but think there is something magnificently better waiting for me just up ahead.

The Queen City has been good to me. She took me in, fed me, moistened my palette, and sugar-coated my long-deprived desire for good rock and roll music. Thank you Cincinnati. Thank you Heartless Bastards, Thank you Arlins, Scott & Kevin at open mic on Thursdays, the Comet Tavern as well as the Northside Tavern, and thanks to Noah for introducing me to some mighty fine folks. Thank you Stephen and Joyce Fruth. I wish all landlords were as nice as you people. Thank you Clifton, specifically the gas light district tucked away on a little hill. Life has never been so pleasant. Thanks for all the cups of coffee, Sitwells-- even if it took a lifetime to get one cup. Thank you Mt. Storm for being so completely awesome. Thank you Cincinnati Zoo. Getting poop thrown at me by an ape is fun. Seeing a polar bear take a polar bear sized shit is quite enlightening. Thanks to all the tiny lizards that scurry about. Thanks to my neighbors for being supportive-- Lauren Mosko and Brian. Whoever is leaving their laundry in the washing machine needs to get it out! Thanks Mt. Adams for such a spectacular view. Thanks for Octoberfest. I'll be dancing like a chicken every year. Thanks Daniel and Mary for hangin' with me and my girlfriend, she really misses you guys a lot. Thanks to Erica, of the Heartless BAstards for coming to my hometown, Lexington, in order to rock us out. Lastly, Thanks to Milo, a brave kitty, I hope you are doing OK.

And now for some really funny photos:
