So … Brian got the job at Microsoft, and from what I can tell, they’re offering in the 80 - 90k range, making his decision to stay even harder. His latest IM to me reads, “please oh please convince me not to go.” Blah … what exactly does that entail?

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment, I’m lost
And no heaven can help us
Ready, willing, and able
To lose it all
For a kiss so fatal
And so worn …
