Dear Ex-MC,
Well, it's certainly fitting that the song The National released today (anniversary of our termination) from their forthcoming album has the following chorus:
"Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
And I would always be light years, light years away from you
Light years, light years away from you."

And also the line: "I was always 10 feet behind you from the start."
