Thanks for all you gave to our Fox.

May you path be easier and even more fruitful.

Peace and love, Randy.

>Summer in Seattle can be a beautiful time of the year to spend with friends. The joy of watching a spectacular splintered sunset of cosmic filled colors with Mt. Rainier looming over your shoulder is hard to put into words (as Jerry Garcia would sing “the sky was yellow and the sun was blue”). So it is on such an occasion that I bring some bittersweet news … I will be departing this happy nest of ours shortly – yes, it is time for this bird to fly.

>While it is a sad time for me, it is also one that is refreshing and quite spiritual. I was just reflecting the other day how wonderful it is to have an opportunity to start over (maybe some of you have thought the same). Although most of the details might be lacking for that next adventure of mine, I know it is out there for me to discover. The unknown is often more exciting than the known – albeit somewhat more frightening looking into that abyss. For me, the chance to begin anew and take that path a little less trodden is hard to pass up.

>As Neil Young once wrote “It's better to burn out, than to fade away”. After the last release, I had a chance to ponder the state of our product, my involvement and where things might be heading down the horizon. I have often believed and still do that it is better to do something right than not do it at all. And if you’re going to do it right, you might as well go all the way. Certainly, it is tempting to consider what might have been, but that would not be in the cards as dealt by the friendly droids upstairs. Things are how they are, life goes on, time to move along.

>Sometimes I think it’s all a dream one time long ago that this misfit from Berkeley and his good buddy from Hawaii joined the journey with a team of visionaries transplanted from a small town in Ohio to the great Pacific Northwest. For the past 10 years, he and I have seen the good, the bad, and even the hereafter. I will certainly miss steering that ship with my good friend. But what really kept us afloat all these years were those unbroken chains of support from you, our special community. Each time we saw that light in the tunnel starting to dim, your encouragement gave us the incentive to open up our Pandora’s Box just one more time. This has been and will always be your product. Many have come and gone, but somehow things seem to end up just fine and will continue to do so.

>I can’t recall a day when starting up this great product of ours has not inspired me in one way or another. So while you may be able to take the person out of the Fox, you can’t take the Fox out of the person. I am sure many of us will stay in touch, maybe in another time’s forgotten space, but just remember one thing -- if you get confused just listen to the music play.
