On the way out of the country...

A quick "happy birthday" to Malu (Hawaiian poet/warrior) and Chen (recent Master of Accounting graduate and KPMG hire). And a "good luck" to my niece Keli and my spiritual compadre Arkady on their encounters with their respective state bars this weekend (Texas for the former, California the latter). I'll toast you all as soon as I uncork that bottle on the Piazza Navonna...
