Gurdonark

I'd like to start by saying that I really think the name Lane is unexpected, old-fashioned in a good way, and cool. Prior to the time y'all employed it to name your child, I might have thought it was "too too", but since I've seen you use it in your journal, it's really grown on me as a really cool name.

I like reading about your day to day life, whether it is work foibles or family things, or leisure things. I like the way your weblog will combine this kind of slice-of-life narrative with your thoughts about this or that bigger concern.

I like that you are interested in mail-art-type things, as I am, and I also follow with interest any time you talk about further advanced school/study. I like the way I perceive that you work for the things you want, and that you don't depend on others to make your good fortune, but instead act to work to get the things you want in life.

I'm excited that you're expanding your family, and glad that you have found this day to day bliss.

You're a kind person, and a bright person, and a pleasure to know. We are not very similar, but it's fun to know dissimilar people sometimes.

Also, you wield a mean kazoo!
