Unfortunately tonight I'm travelling to Ecuador to play in a chess tournament. It's about ten days long and since internet-access is doubtful I just wanted to give a little goodbye out to the good people here who always find something cheerful to say. Like a whole bunch of sweet little Kaylees! Wish me luck! I'm going to have to be rehabilitated into the 'verse I'm sure.

Here's a little Firefly song, only slightly altered (set to "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music):

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the Firefly too
And up in the nursery an absurd little girl
Is popping out to say "hands of blue"
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Regretfully they tell us hands of blue, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us hands of blue, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
Cuckoo!
. . . to you

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this shiny sight

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to Jayne and Wash and you

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first mudder's milk

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!
I'm sad to go, I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
The leaf has soared to bed and so must I

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye!

I've often found that when involved in a competitive chess match, it's always good to lay your handgun on the table next to you. Sorta puts the cards on the table, so to speak... Good Luck.

Knock 'em dead,OneManShort!
Was going to offer some back-seat-driver type advice,thought better of it.If you're going to a tournament in Ecuador you've likely got moves galore!
Do come back to us now.

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone! It really means a lot to me to have such kind people on my side! I just came back today...it was definitly too long of a trip...especially with the new "no liquids" rule. My mom had to throw away her hand cream. Just to let everyone know if anyone happens to be curious, I managed to get sixth place out of around 40 or 50 girls. I'm proud of myself anyway

I'm normally more modest but tonight I'm too tired to be modest. I'm posting this and going to bed so I wish all the kind Browncoats here a good night!

We sniff the air, we don't kiss the dirt.

Congratulations on the tournament and welcome home. You definately flew back on the worse day possible since 9/11. At least the flight wasnt cancelled outright.

Congrats! Glad you got home safe. Definitely a shocker with the threats an' all. But 6th? That's definitely shiny! I'm not much of a chess player myself, but I do love stealing everyone's horsies. (knights, I know :P)

Hola, OMS!

It's good to see your banner flying here
once again.

What a tale you'll have to tell your kids
and grandkids. Not only a good place in
the finish, but the flight home on such a
crazy day. At least your mom didn't have
to throw out some crazy $200/oz. perfume.

We're glad you're home with us again.

It definitly was a crazy day to fly. I had absolutely no clue about current events, I got confused when they started saying "no cosmetics, no shampoo, no lotions, etc..." Do they want all of the passengers to have dry skin and greasy hair? The one reasonable thing they were doing is if there was anything of real value that we wanted to keep we could check our carry on. So glad to be back online-never realized how spoiled I am by the internet!
