Hi Mike, I've been enjoying your posts, your encouragement for coworking, and your spirit of positivity for about 3-4 years now and I will certainly miss your presence. I'm a Bay Area ex-Pat in Plymouth England now, which in a way is probably a lot like Tracy: geographically and work-culturally a little bit off the mainstream pace. Our coworking space has been around for only 1/2 year, so needless to say I have been absorbing a lot from this group in the few years before we started and of course the 6 months since we launched. Wishing you all the best in your next adventure. I'm sure your positivity will bring you much delight in the future. Best -Sabrina
