A phrase that’s been popping up lately — thanks to Julie’s and Amanda’s wedding — is “the kindness of strangers”. I benefited from the kindness of a stranger back in the spring of 2003 when a reader of this blog pointed out that the new girlfriend (“The New Girl”) I’d been gushing about was not who she claimed to be. The story, titled The Girl Who Cried “Webmaster” was my most popular article of 2003 and was the exact opposite of all those warnings about the people you meet on the internet: in this case, the con artist was someone whom I met in real life, while the honest person was a stranger on the internet.

Joey,
1. Give your mom a big hug from all of us here in Chicago on her birthday.
2. Also give Wendy a biggie, whatever you xgens envision it to be.
3. For a luddite like myself, I like the old format better. Your blog's new look just doesn't have the seamless flow of the old one. It's just not user friendly and the layout looks like a page from Baldwin doorlocks.
Take comfort in the fact that i don't know much about URLs and blogging tools. At any rate, I'm very proud of you and your imminent success in the bloggers' world. As we say in the dairy farm, 'he's so good he should stay in the barn --- full time.
