I’m a long time reader of this blog. I usually come in late and it takes me a while to read and think about all that I have read on the front page and the links and comments. By that time the snark and online discussion is over and everyone is going to bed. Be assured that we (the lurkers - damm, I hate that term) appreciate what you and Jane and Christie and TRex have given us. If there was a better way to express it than saying thank you I don’t know what it would be. And one final favor, could you please consider referring to me and the other lurkers as occasional contributors, thanks again.<br /> Ray Mann</p> Pach, I’m glad that you brought this up.

Hey, TRex.

Wish you were here. Dad is great. Been an interesting day, or actually, couple of days. Check my blog for details (and cute dog pics).

I hate to fly. You knew that.

Somehow in all of this, I had forgotten that you were going to DC before London. I have been wanting to call you and forgetting that you were still in the US. I will call you tomorrow.

Between 8:40AM EST and about 2:00PM EST I am gonna be a little busy. Any time before of after, I should get the call.

Wish me luck.

Good luck Patrick….have a good run and enjoy the company!! :) If you ever run the Boston
Marathon, let me know and I will come cheer for you. My husband ran it long ago (Late 50’s)
and came in 72nd out of about 5000…not bad!
Have a good day!

I read daily but rarely comment. I’m out and about trying to turn Arizona blue. It’s a tough row to hoe. I don’t really expect Kyl to be defeated on Nov. 7, but if he loses, you’ll know that Bush really IS vanquished.</p> You’re welcome, and thank YOU for the great blog. I read daily but rarely comment.

I use to post comments. Now I do not (except for now). Now I am one of the “lurkers”, except I have chosen not to support anyone financially this round of elections. Why? Well, my words have been excluded too many times, here and elsewhere. Yes, I do see the world in a different light, but it is a light and not darkness. Yet, I have been shut out. And though it is only in one way, I have read it as such to mean in all ways, so in all ways I have and in all way I will.</p> Remember me? I use to post comments. Now I do not (except for now).
