Deb, I will really miss your columns--kind, funny, generous, smart, encouraging--you've helped me go from a Monday-only solver to an all-week solver whose favorite day is Friday. I'm afraid my times and streaks will both slow down without your perfect selection of hints when I get stuck, but you've taught me not to be afraid to look things up and just have fun. I hope you will have time for lots of both in your new adventures. Thanks for your wonderful company all these years.
