Five

My daughter Rachel, five years ago tonight:

“If you’re going to be this uptight and worried about it, you’re not going to be a very happy blogger. Just say ‘This is my new blog; I’m trying it out. Thanks to my son and daughter. I hope it works out.’”
Earlier this evening, Orange Crate Art turned five. Or as Webster’s Third New International explains, “one more than four.”

Thanks again, Rachel and Ben, for getting me started writing online. Thanks, Elaine, for your constant encouragement. Thanks, everyone, for reading.

Congrats, happy five year anniversary!

Elaine Fine said...

Has it been five years already? Wow. Time certainly passes quickly when you're having fun.

Glad for your sustaining presence, Michael. Your concerns map neatly onto my own and as such I'm glad that you're fighting the good fight. Your blog serves another purpose, at least its title does: It has me nearly believing that someone may care when my little book about VDP's Song Cycle finally appears.

Thanks, everyone.

Count, please keep me posted on your Song Cycle project. (My e-mail address is in the sidebar.)

Then count me as a relative newcomer to your blog, but I certainly enjoy it.

Thanks, Benny.

I would respond to your thanks with, "The pleasure is all mine," but I don't actually hold a monopoly on the pleasure. Maybe we could just get into a "No, thank you," "No, thank you" argument?

Jai, the pleasure would be all mine. : )
