Alright, that doesn't really do anyone any justice. This is a much better picture of the occassion.

Congratulations Mel. You made it this far and kicked that much ass in between. I can only but hope to join your ranks this time next year, but for now, this is your day of glory. Time to relish the moment because come next week, well…there is just so much work to do. The world doesn't change on its own, at least not when we're lying down taking a nap.
