I didn't start lurking until late Summer. Mah*Sweetie and I began volunteering at HQ that October (after our son's wedding on Sept 27th), and I'm not sure when my first post happened. Late Oct or in Nov? By December I was answering phones at HQ. There was talk of putting in extra security after Gore endorsed Dean. That was such a powerfully moving time.
Ten years? I came in late, but still, it doesn't seem like it could be ten years. At the same time, it seems as though I've known all of you always. I guess that's the mark of strong friendship.
We've had a minor miracle. My sister who, like Mikie in the Life cereal commercials hates everything, has taken to eating my granola bars.
Mind you, they're very nice granola bars, cherry-chocolate, made by an outfit called 18 Rabbits. Don't ask; I have no idear! They're certified organic and certified kosher, so I figure you can't get any more wholesome than that. And Sis actually eats them voluntarily. More than that, she says she likes them. Wonders never cease!
Since I like them too, next drugstore.com shopping I'll get two boxes. Never thought I'd see the day!
What's the sugar content? Low enough for me to give it a try, I wonder? Chocolate Cherry sure sounds yummy. Puts me in mind of Cherry Garcia Ice Cream...but the kind Ben & Jerry made with chunks in it, not the way their successors make it, with little chips.
Howard would be the most first! WoºT!
ReplyDeleteAmazed that there are any crabapples left this late!
Ten years ago, today, the Dean blog was launched. . . .

Wow--time flies!

ReplyDeleteAh, Cat, what a great way to express it. I'm as grateful as can be for the friendships here. ♥
