Thankful
I have a good many things to be thankful for, but it really hit home today as I was browsing through these blog archives.
The last five years have been nothing short of… harrowing? Amazing? Harrowing and amazing, perhaps. In any case, it’s made me even more incredibly thankful for where I’m at right now. 2006/2007 is a particularly bitter and amazing year of archives. When you read about just how bad things had gotten, it’s nothing short of a bloody fucking miracle that I’m where I’m at now.
I’m awestruck at how things have turned out.
Thanks to all the regular readers who have shared this incredibly weird, rocky, wild ride. And thanks for sticking with me as the beat goes on.
Here’s to another (hopefully less harrowing) five years…
Remember, as I oft-repeated at the end of every blog post:
“Tomorrow will be better.”

HealthCare Concerns
Is anyone else really concerned that the latest “health screening reversals” have targeted women? See mammograms, and pelvic exams. I have yet to see the “let’s stop screening men for prostate cancer” and “forget the colonoscopies” announcement.

Book Rejection Bingo
In conversation, a writing buddy of mine expressed interest in tracking down a “book rejection BINGO” card. I’m startled to say that, after much searching, I failed to find one.
So…. I made one!
