145 hours later there is silence in the hpx household. The 747 has gone.

:-)

I'm so relieved. Thanks for your kind wishes over the past near week. It's been a long 6 days, I'm exhausted and off to bed. Not even the thought of more management-speak tomorrow can dent my serenity.

Never has the phrase "silence is golden" been so apt.
