Sacred Cow Burgers farewell.

Hello folks,
Sorry that this message isn't a notification of a new parody, but I figure this is a necessary note to send. The long and short of it is this: after three years as Butcher of Sacred Cow Burgers, I have decided to hang up my cleaver. I figured I should let you all know why.
Foremost in the making of this decision is a very happy turn of events: I am going to be a father. My wife informed me of this miraculous news just days before Father's Day of this year.
The responsibility of becoming a parent is not one I take lightly. In short, my waking hours are now wholly dedicated to my family in every way. Doing political parodies for Sacred Cow Burgers has a been fun hobby, but it takes up far too much of my free time and has never been intended as a source of income. Thus, I'm hanging up my cleaver and putting away the butcher's block.
I want to thank you all for your interest in my work and especially for the outpouring of support that so many of you gave during my bout with cancer and other health issues in the past two years. I am happy to say that, thanks to your prayers, my health has vastly improved over the past six months. I now work out seven times a week and feel stronger than I have in many years past. My lungs are clear, my heart is strong, my mind is sharp, and my eyes are...well, three outta four ain't bad.
In closing, I send my best wishes to all of you. I've enjoyed making parodies for you folks, and appreciated your input and support over the years. I've had a good run as your Butcher, but now it's time for me to be a full-time family man. Thank you all and God bless.
Sincerely,
Jay D. Dyson

I've posted a number of pictures here on FR. These are the ones of which I am most proud. A beautiful sentiment. I'm sure your child will be just as beautiful.

Songs that worked really well for me while walking the floor at odd hours:
St. Judy's Comet by Paul Simon
Something So Right by Paul Simon
You Can Close Your Eyes by James Taylor
Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
When You Are a Soldier by Stephen Curtis Chapman
There were many others, but they escape me at the moment.

It would be nice if ownership of the website was passed on to someone of similar abilities and capabilities, with perhaps a cameo appearance of Jay's work in the future.
Fatherhood can add many new humorours insights worth sharing!
Best wishes with the little one!
