50,000 Glorious Blog Points : My 1st 90 Days In Active Rain

Many thanks, Pam. I'm having a great time.

Thanks, Karen. Hope I can do the 100k in a couple of weeks (just funnin' with you) :-)

Thank you much, Andy. It's great to hear from you.

Thank you, Pam (Solaris, which also happens to be the name of one of my favorite movies). I'm honored to hear from you. Hope your having a great weekend and enjoying that beautiful Florida sunshine.

Very nice to hear from you, Marzena, and many thanks for your kind thoughts. Hope your having a fabulous day in the great state of Minnesota.

Hi Michael. It's swell to hear from you and many thanks for the nice note. Hope your having a great weekend. I want to make it back up to Virginia one day for some of that great fiddle playin' around them thar' hills :-) I spent the summer of 1972, when I came back from Great Britain,  Israel and the Middle East, working in Georgetown at Orpheus Records and Books on M Street and would walk across the Key Bridge everyday when I got off work and head for the Georgetown University Campus to study the piano. Some evenings I'd practice so late, and became so tired, that I fell asleep on the piano bench. Played lots of chess in DuPont Circle in D.C., too.  I loved Washington, Michael. Hope the week ahead is one of your best ever.

I'm honored by your comment, Richard, and grateful for your interest in my writing. I hope for every great thing for you, as I do all of my friends in Active Rain. I'm not a salesperson, although a broker, and I assist my company with referrals, technology related issues, service the needs of three offices in West Tennessee, encourage new student candidates for the area real estate schools, work for the educational needs of the real estate community, and play the piano when I need a cure for a headache, although I can give myself one occasionally with some raunchy boogie woogie :-) It's great to hear from you. I hope your having a super weekend in beautiful Chattanooga.

Hi Mirela. I bought 35 thousand points from an underground wholesale points dealer in Turkmenistan that I found in a mail order catalog. :-)

Thanks, Liz ! You rock !

Thank you, Joan. The kindness and consideration I've experienced in Active Rain is esthetic. I was of the rather stale mindset that nobody could teach an old dog like me a new trick. Gosh, I was totally out of conformity with that notion when I discovered Active Rain. Superstar Jon Washburn did a remarkable thing by bringing us all together like this. Hope your week is off to a great start.

Thanks, Mirela. Max Mewsic is a character. He's watching cartoons right now and loves Betty Boop. His girlfriends name is Lucy. She's also a tux cat. She stays outside, though, because she likes it out there and enjoys chasing squirrels. The really funny thing about Lucy is that if you ask her, "Have you got any good mews (instead of news) today, Lucy?", she'll look right up at you and go, "mew, mew, mew, mew..." for five minutes like she's telling you about everything that's been taking place in the last 24 hours. It's a riot !
