Not to be sappy, but you and I just reached our six month anniversary. And I couldn't be happier. Thanks to everyone who visits this site regularly, thanks to those who take the time to comment (Red Tulips, TGC, Berdo, Gene, GRT, James) and thanks to those who, when they see me, make a comment or two about my posts.
I especially want to thank one Andrew Sullivan for the shout-out he gave me on his blog back in July. That really got the ball rolling for this blog and it gave me the impetus to keep posting.
As some of you know, I started a new job late in October. It's been going great, but the hours are a bit more demanding so it's been harder for me to keep posting on a daily basis. I'm disappointed by that.
So, for 2007, I plan on making a concerted effort to post on a daily basis.
I'm off to Provincetown for the weekend with James -- just the two of us in a beach community. In the winter.
How. Fun. :-)
In the meantime, here's a recap of the week's events with my own two-cents thrown in for good measure.
Once again, thank you for your support this past year. I want to wish you a happy, healthy, successful new year. And wherever you should decide to ring in the New Year, please remember to drink responsibly and vote Democrat.
xoxo

Gerald Ford Passed Away -- Pardoning Nixon was so not cool. A National Day of Mourning on January 2nd (one that would give us all the day off) would have been.
James Brown is Dead -- The diva-est move ever is to die on Crimmus. That the lines are forming around the block at the Apollo Theater here in New York is truly a testament to this man's legacy.
Saddam is Handed Over to the Iraqi People -- Countdown to a real big mess. In less than 30 days all hell will break loose once Saddam is executed. The man is evil but hanging him is going to make a really bad situation worse.
Dreamgirls Debuts in Theaters on Crimmus -- And I am telling you it is the best effing movie EVER. Go see it go see it go see it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Thanks for the shout out. You're not the only one who gets sappy at the end of the year. Can we just talk about what happens to us when people die? Can people continue to be honest? I haven't heard boo about Gerald Ford and all he's done for this country until the day he died. When did it become cool to pardon a crook? I can hardly wait to hear about Saddam's great leaadership qualities after the hanging.
ReplyDeleteJames, I remember when the pardon was announced. I was very disappointed. But I came to realize that justice did not demand revenge. Nixon misused the Constitution. He was punished though the Constitutional process. Ultimately, that was enough.
ReplyDelete(And it saved me a little angst, too. I always feel diminished when I manage to exact revenge beyond what is demanded by justice.)
Happy anniversary! I am so happy for you! And it's been a pleasure to read your blog over these few months. You are one of the few sane voices out there in the world. Keep up the good work, and congrats on your anniversary!
