Well, Shari...the time has come!
I had a wonderful stay in your company and you made me discover the beauty of your region.
Most happily, I also found out that it doesn't rain all the time in Seattle, after all!
I’m grateful to you and your friends for this gorgeous farewell lunch which we all have enjoyed together.
The bar was great even though I may have indulged my curiosity a little too much and tried too many different drinks.
Now I’m slightly moved and in a romantic mood, maybe because I’m a little tipsy.
So, Shari, allow your bearfriend to look into your eyes and sing you a goodbye tune....

"Time to say goodbye.
Places that I've never seen or experienced with you.
Now I shall.....
Lalalaaaaaaaa"
