THE THING REVEALED

“I have accepted a job teaching media production at a high school in Southern Maine. I just found out the position is mine and will be moving up within a month.

This has been in the works for quite some time. I am so excited right now I can barely type. It will be the toughest job I've ever taken on, but potentially the most rewarding, and I'll be doing it in the state that I consider to be the most beautiful in America.

So long, hot sticky Florida! :-)

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”

“YAY congrats, dood!”

“Now you can make beer with maple syrup!”

“Congratulations, Artex! Woohoo...welcome, new neighbor. I'll bet it feels great to be able to reveal the "thing".”

“*yawn*”

“Who cares if you're excited or happy or whatever?! I'm just glad I finally know what THE THING is!!

:-)








PS: Congrats, dude!”

“Congrats, lotsa hiking to be done in Maine.”

“The Thing revealed..... without arrest for indecent exposure.”

“Artex, you have my congratulations, that's awesome!”

“Very cool Artex, or should I say it like a Maniac "wicked cool."”

“Congratulations!!! Sounds like a wonderful opportunity

Hike Novia Scotia too!”

“Oh.

And all this time I thought "the thing" might be something important, or at least intereting....

j/k, CONGRATS dude! Look forward to seeing you on the trail again sometime soon. You know, forrest fairies, and all that. :)”

“You do realize, however, that you'll always be considered a flatlander, no matter how long you live in Northern New England.”

“Thanks guys!

Yes, I realize that full-on, skiracer. :-) That's okay, it'll make me different.”

“good for you Artex!”

“YOU BASTARD!!

LOL major congrads!!”

“woohoo!

congrats Jamie! =D

however, it's pretty darn hot and sticky here in Maine today!

I'm melting.....”

“Does this mean no more Ooga Boogas?”

“Not to worry, Artex. After a couple of years, you'll start having bad dreams. You'll dream that you went out to your car and it had Massachusetts plates on it.”

“'Way cool ('fool coo,l' en français).

Toljaso!

Yeah.

I bin missing ya, big 'n' tall guy.

Very happy for you. You will make a fine teacher.

Doug”

“and people called you a M#&%!$...LOL...”

“OH Artex, you STUD!

I've been waiting so long for you to reveal your thing!

Come get some, you big monkey-hot-man!”

“monkey-hot-man??? is that a good pick up line?? Just askin. I need to get in the "know" ;)”

“Who the hell is that, lyra?

Better to be a Mainiac than a M#&%!$!

Southern Maine?

Town, please!”

“Congrats Artex and welcome to life in New England;

”

“Congrats, Artex!

Watch out for the moose!”

“Cool.
Within a month? Maybe we ought to get the Florida folks together for a send off before you go.”

“Artex is going to take me to the beach and coat every inch of my body with coppertone to keep me from getting burnt!

This is going to be so great. I've been waiting for you, you big brahma bull!”

“Artex,
In a couple of years you will start talking funny, or should I say funnier...
Welcome to the NE!
Remember NY is right around the corner...Ithaca trip!

PS
Congrats and "Wicked Cool" is my line!!! LOL”

“I thought it would be bigger...

;)”

“Hey, Artex,

Can you post the pic of you and me in the Dix Range? The one where I look like a very small Hobbit.”

“lol aero

Ok - snowshoeing at artex's neck o the woods this winter!!!”

“LOL! You guys are too much. Thanks again.

Hey, Hot Maine Bikini Bunny, wanna meet me at the lobstah pound?”

“Will that Florida send off come complete with tar and feathers like his NJ party did?

Congrats and good luck.”

“nice THING, dude! congrats.”

“Hey Artex, I'm jealous of your thing!”

“That's fantastic news, they need anyone to teach print?”

“I wish my thing got this much attention”

“Don't forget to pack the gas-b-gon!

Oh, and congrats!”

“You shagging Yam??


Her yawn was interesting?

She coming with you?



Oh . . .congrats on the "thing". I am always impressed/respectful of people who actively seek to put themselves where they can fulfil their dreams.

Working, interviewing, keeping focused on the goal. . .you have sustained this one for some time, congratulations on seeing it through.


Lots of kayaking (buy a dry suit), lots of hiking, biking etc.

Southern maine = freeport = LLbean.


Hey . . .my nieces and nephew go to school in maine . . teach them how to dance wiht boar.”

“Thanks again guys.

HPM - That would be cool to see you guys for a final hurhah (not that I was here very long to begin with though, LOL).

Lee - Yam is.... well, I don't want to speak for her. Kind words you speak (type), thank you very much.”

“well, you can call it a final _yay!”

“Gremlin, you are a small hobbit.

Artex,.........Ithaca
It goin' to be legendary.

I hear the weather sucks wicked in Maine.”

“I think it would be cool to get together but I myself am heading to the bounday waters in the beginning of July so that only gives me the next two weekends where I would be available.”

“Ah, bummage HPM. I guess you guys will have to come up and visit me then. You'll probably have the chance to meet the infamous twigeater if you come up for a trip.. another bonus.”

“Beware the twigeater!”

“I have been thinking about a Maine trip for a while now.

I think next summer will be Montana though.”

“It's safe to come to Maine now, cause I got new shorts! =D”

“Whoa!!!

What a relief !”

“"It's your thing......do what you wanna do...I can't tell you...who to sock it to"

Congratulations......wooo hoooo

You're going to freeze your tail off in a few months...LOL.....”
