If I calculate correctly, this post will be the beginning of my second thousand.
I'm not prone to slurpy sentiment but I thought this might be a good time for me to express my gratitude to all those here who have contributed to my continuing education. To all the regular contributors who have either summoned up the nerve to post their less than perfect work, so that I might learn from your mistakes, or, to the truly gifted artists who have shown me what is possible. To all the moderators, who will have to figure out how to edit that previous poorly constructed sentence. And to Al Gore, for inventing the Internet.
I would like to thank my daughter who, even as a little tike, could muster the nerve to say - Dad, it's just not right.
And lastly, and mostly, to Cynthia for giving all of us the opportunity to share our thoughts, our passions, our successes and failures.
To all above I offer this Irish blessing, author uknown:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
