There will be things I will not miss...scrambling for parking, dumbasses who break your mirror and still have not repaid you, screaming twenty-somethings at 2am, and the chaos that is sure to ensure during the inauguration with bars open 24/7. But it is the end of an era. Celebrating with friends Saturday night over lasagna and copious amounts of wine, we have a lot to remember. Good stories. Good times.
