Good luck with the new venture, though it's very unusual that luck has anything to do with it. I hope you settle in quickly, and enjoy the challenge.

Hey Warren,
Good luck with the new job (or same job at a different place).
Did you negotiate more free time so you can spend it in at the Adelaide Zoo? :D

Warren - it only seems like yesterday you were talking about, and now it has happened. May be less hours of working, and more hours for relaxation :)

Congratulations - fozzie
