Caltech will never be the same... and Chicago (the city, the institution, the department) will be much the worse without you. So glad I won't be sticking around to see the decline! (to those few fans I have left after months of not blogging who are waiting to hear where I'm going... just a bit longer, and all will be revealed) Many congrats, Sean.
