What a hoot, I was looking down my list of Associates and noticed you, and realized that I hadn't visited your blog lately.  I clicked on you to see what you have been cooking up, and there I was! What are the odds that would happen on the day you posted about me?!  Thank you for the kind words.  After I started on ActiveRain last August, my goal was to climb high enough to snag one of the featured spots in Kootenai County, which I did.  Now, for no rational reason, I am aiming for one of those little 100,000 points boxes under my picture.  I haven't been thinking too much about trying to get to one of the featured spots in the State, particularly because I know Brian is chasing Christina, and she will do whatever it takes to stay ahead of him!  I am just having fun, enjoying my associations, learning much and getting ready to close on two ActiveRain referrals.  Let the good times roll!
