Kudos my friend.
As one who has don...TEN YEARS?? Kudos my friend.<br /><br />As one who has done much on again - off again blogging I am impressed by your tenacity!<br /><br />You make me think. You make me smile. You occasionally make me shriek with laughter or shake my head in befuddlement.<br /><br />One of the things I like best about your blog is the balance you have achieved - sharing enough of Kelly the man, the husband, the father, the pie guy with a tool belt, the reader, the writer, the dreamer to let us feel we can connect with you on an authentic level. And yet you don't make the blog all about YOU. Some personal blogs are so in your face with individual angst or so entirely focused on meditating their own belly button lint that there is no room for anyone else, ya know?<br /><br />You consistently bring in big ideas, events, opinions that invite us all along for the ride.<br /><br />It continues to be a privilege.Belladonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704410443745252997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-22401659947149022362012-02-17T05:48:58.545-05:002012-02-17T05:48:58.545-05:00Seems that I was following my friend Fred Hembeck&...Seems that I was following my friend Fred Hembeck's blog, and he had a rather extensive blogroll, and one of those folks was somehow following you, or you made a comment on one of their blogs, or something; I don't remember.<br /><br />As a newbie of only 6 years, 9 months, you are the ever moving goal. At least now I can say that I've been blogging 68% as long as you.<br /><br />Oh, I'll try to come up with a question for your Ask Me feature.<br /><br />May I say, though, that I HATE, HATE Blogger's new comment moderation feature, with 2 words, one which I generally have difficulty reading. Since you are approving every comment anyway, you might consider getting rid of it.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-58955612096736129962012-02-16T18:47:51.923-05:002012-02-16T18:47:51.923-05:00Happy anniversary, my esteemed colleague.

I think you commented on another blog I was reading and I was sufficiently intrigued to follow the link back here. Or maybe I just ran across your blog at random. Regardless, I've been a faithful reader ever since. I admire the breadth of your subject matter, the honesty of what you choose to reveal about your life, and your tenacious damn-the-torpedoes support of the <i>Star Wars</i> prequels (not to mention your intelligent and provocative approach to revising them!). And I <i>really</i> envy your output, especially given how sporadic and paltry my own blogging efforts have become in recent years. <br /><br />Here's to ten more!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001416935247782462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-66026656018631063842012-02-16T11:47:50.309-05:002012-02-16T11:47:50.309-05:00Cheers & happy blogiversary!Cheers & happy blogiversary!Buffalopundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360269382568353420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-75777918296652509352012-02-16T09:27:19.642-05:002012-02-16T09:27:19.642-05:00Wow.

I liked it immediately, and I remember that I lurked for a long time because I was intimidated by your blogging prowess (I began blogging just five months after you did). I didn't think there was a chance in hell that you'd ever visit my blog and, if you did, that you'd return.<br /><br />Finding and getting to know what I call "Blog Friends" is what has kept me online. Like you, I enjoy reading. I especially enjoy reading people's thoughts and about their lives. Your blog remains one of my morning-with-coffee joys.<br /><br />Congratulations on 10 years of excellent blogging!Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.com
