10 years, Falcon! That is a very long time to be sitting in the same chair. 
But I'm afraid I can't speak with experience on this. The only person in KR that is qualified to comment would be Jawfin.
So instead, I've been thinking about this word 'Legendary' the past few days counting down to your 10 Year KR Council Anniversary (and, yes, I've been keeping track - I made a google calendar event and everything!)
I remember you telling others in a post, that when you first joined KR you heard 'legends' about some old KR members, one of them being me. And how surprised you were when I took you as my student.
I was flattered, of course, but the word 'cringe' also aptly applied.
What is it about this word 'Legendary' that seems so paradoxical to me?
Well let's break down this word using only facts. Just the facts.
To start, we have the word 'Legend' which means - a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated - OR - an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field.
(Thanks internet!)
Basically it means a story.
Then we have 'Dairy', which when I looked it up...seemed out of place at first, but ok - a building, room, or establishment for the storage, processing, and distribution of milk and milk products - OR - containing or made from milk.
(Thanks internet?)
So in the end we have "Story Milk" or "Story Cheese"
Or how I will define it - A Cheesy Story.
And doesn't that just hit the nail on the head?
Especially when attributed to me.
I've told a lot of cheesy stories in my time in KR because they help me convey my own emotions to the people I care about. It's one of my few social communication tools I have that (sometimes) works. And because I run out of words to use like 'Proud', and 'Honored', so I have to find other ways to not sound repetitive.
Those two words above have applied to me about you for over a decade now.
OVER.A.DECADE.FALCON.
How am I supposed to constantly reword this? How am I supposed to keep writing these cheesy stories about you, for you? (For me.)
I wish great words existed for me to write out your Legend, properly. Because, as I've said before, you have surpassed me.
Those Legends that impressed you so long ago - your own outshines them all.
You are greater than me, not because of you-trying, but because of you-doing.
Permanently affixed, your own Legend continues to expand in KR.
And it's a story, a Legend that I don't cringe about being apart of.
Across all metrics, I'm lucky to have met you
