pride

Dot Org has a director, my ÜrBoss, and an executive committee (like a board of directors), whose membership, including its officers, rotates. So while the latter is completely refreshed every few years, ÜrBoss has been with Dot Org since its inception more than a quarter of a century ago. Occasionally the committee meets in Denver, and occasionally occasionally there is a function. Tonight, we dedicated the building; and when I found out that a magnum of champagne wouldn't be smashed on the cornerstone, I had no expectations.

Though I am no fan of urban sprawl and have only grumpily dealt with the move out to the hinterlands, this evening I clapped as loudly as anyone, and maybe longer, when the president announced that the building will be named for ÜrBoss, after his retirement, which sad loss we all hope won't be for years and years and years.
