Ok, myUMBC'ers.....after five long years of grinding away at my degree, I'm finally finished with my master's.  

And although I'm skipping the formality of the graduation (...it's my *third* degree post-high school), I am coming up for the reception held my my department for the grads.

I've really enjoyed "talking" to you guys on myUMBC.  I've particularly enjoyed the comments by (and exchanges with) Daniel Haney, Ryan Warns, Alec Duncan, Marie Stelmack, Tim B., Chris N., Vasquez, Gabriel, Rachel, Thomas, Michelle, Tyler Z., Travis, Michael, and too many others to name.....

I'd love the opportunity to meet you guys in person...even some of the guys I give a lot of grief to, that includes you Adamsen brothers, and even you Erik.

So....if you'd like to join me for a beer, please let me know.  If we can agree on a place/time, I'll be there. I've never actually been to campus (as i was an online student), so this will be my first, and possibly last, trip to UMBC.

As an added incentive, I'll buy the first few pitchers

As the Germans say "Auf ihr Wohl!" (that's to your health).

If you can't make it, oh well.  I'll drink one for you.
