General heads up and kudos

Kitchen people already know this but I figured I should give the rest of you a heads up. I'm going to be headed out for the holiday. Leaving Saturday, back next Thursday.

I do have presents for people and I'll be tracking you down in the next couple days.

And now to talk about things that make me seems a little less self-centered:

Hawaii people, you guys did a great job. You should all be very proud. Dropping everything at a moment's notice and flying on what I know from experience is a tediously long flight in order to help people is incredible dedication.

Thank you all for your compassion and the heroic example you set. Helping people is a better use of your powers and energy than your teachers get up to on a regular basis. It is because of you that the world will become a better place for all of us.

And of course, I wouldn't be me without expressing my appreciation through baked goods. You all have marked pastry boxes in the main kitchen.
