Well, Canada is losing an engineer soon.  Clayton is moving down to Portland this Friday. 

I don't make friends easily, and am feeling quite bummed that my closest one is moving away.  I don't think it really hit me until tonight.   The three of us played AIF and then Clay and I went for a short walk.  A similar evening to hundreds over the last couple of years.  I suddenly realized that it was going to be the last of these evenings for probably a long time.  I'm sure that we'll see each other occasionally, with him flying up here, or Bonnie and I flying down there.  But it's obviously not the same as having a good friend in the same city.  Sigh. 

Good luck in Portland, Clay-san.  I'll miss you.
