I had a dream, and all of you were in it....you and you, and even you!

I feel like Dorothy standing in the Emerald City, waiting for the Wizard to tell me it's time to go.
There are people I want to say goodbye to, but I don't. I'll be back in August to visit, but it's a long shot that I'll see most of them...still, why belabor this?

Well, anyway:
Goodbye, Tin Man, good luck with your heart. Try not to give it away so quickly this time, and keep yourself safe while you fight the good fight.
Goodbye, Lion. You're not a coward, but you ARE a Lion, and try to keep your temper. You're well-loved.
Goodbye, Big Brother, I hope you continue to always be watching. I wish I could take you with me.
And goodbye, Scarecrow...I guess I'll miss you most of all. Be good, okay? And sorry I can be such a moody bitch. Take care, okay? And just so you know...I forgave you a long time ago.
And to all the others....I love you guys. Thank you.

There. All done. Don't we feel better and very sappy now?
