This year's Mosaic has been a cornucopia of single-minded recklessness, explosive egotism, and hysterical eccentricity, and we have reveled in every moment of it. Editors, it's been a wild and wacky adventure. I'd like to thank you for being just weird enough to make me feel normal. You have been tremendous editors, marvelous friends, and only occasionally maddening. Thanks for not killing each other or me. Next year's editorial board, I wish you luck in filling our giant clown shoes. Since all the current editors are graduating and I know you're going to have a lot of questions and confusion, I just want you to know, I'm getting an unlisted phone number! But don't worry, the job's not hard. We just like to complain. You'll do fine! Thank you to the new members for sticking around long enough to learn the ropes. Thank you to everyone who submitted work and who performed at our open mics for being so ridiculously talented. And thanks especially to Neenia who has been our cheerleader and big sister for far too brief a time. Best of luck with everything.

And with that I will say, in the tradition of those who are smart enough to get going while the going is good: "I'm gone!"
