Hey, I just wanted to say that I hope you're doing well and you're article assessment efforts will be missed. I'm not in the habit of pleading with retired editors to come back, but it seemed to me that somebody should at least say goodbye. I'll try to keep the H and I biography backlogs low in your absence.
