Welcome back, dude! I admit I was kinda worried... glad to know someone sees your value, and that you have the giggles again and the Muse has awakened.

This is the kind of gig I was hoping to get three years ago when I took that system administration certificate course. The job was worth the wait, modulo the bills I racked up during the waiting. But those will pass.
