Good grief, you took long enough! Congratulations my dear…your posts are some of the best out there, and those that I look forward to on a regular basis.
And of course, this only means that we get to have yet another party in the Pub!!! 
YAY!!!
::running off to get her dancing shoes::
But but but Izz…you’re taking a while too, aren’t you? Hurry it up missy!
(and many more Dubh!)
Oh bleh…I’m sure it’ll take eons for me to get to 4k 
There are few people who can take things in–maybe let things in is a better way to say it–as you do, dubh, and then weave such insightful replies with strands from your own experience, knowledge, and heart. Happiest 5K to you, and happy us for having you in the family.

YeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Here ya go-
In honor of this momentous occasion I raise my glass of Woodpeckers(early mom’s day present 
) to a master of the board. Sir, you do have a way with words!
Here I sit, within my home,
Trying to come up with some kind of appropriate and witty commemorative poem.
But the muse is fled and I am nervous,
As the city lost all cable service
Right in the freakin’ middle of The Return of the King.
So it’s this, or go and have a dring.
Comcast, Comcast, bah, bah, bah.
Happy fivekay, O Dubster.
Oh, yeah: HIP…

Himself wearing a pince-nez. THAT I’d like to see. 
I have not noticed any such thing in the window of my local opticians but I will be on the lookout for a pair.
Thank you all very much for the kind thoughts and charming words.
As nice and friendly a bunch of people my workmates and bar buddies are they know nothing at all about the music I listen to, the books I read or the films I watch. If it was not for the Chiff I would have cracked up long ago.
I have not been around so much this past few months due to circumstances beyond my control but I hope to be back into it very soon now that our house guest has gone back to his own place..finally.
Love to all,
Slan,

CONGRATULATIONS
