I’m sure I had something witty to say yesterday when I opened this comment window, but it has since escaped my brain in the ensuing daily chaos. Regardless, the point was just to say “Congratulations!” on the win and good job to everyone who was nominated.

Vikki, it's a pleasure to joust with you. Especially since it entails mostly jesting with you. You are beloved by many, for very good reason. Ms. Chu, w00t on back atcha! You gals deserve a rest now. But not too long. Lunchbuckets darn tootin' I feel special! Given how suspicious I am of websites that want my personal info, I am very grateful for anyone that hurls them and their private bits over that barrier to chat here. But, we must admit, it keeps things nice and civil. Speaking of civility. Mr Lady, many many thanks: you are equally inspirational. I will not vouch for the nails, though. I will, however, give us all a be-wigged, nembutal-dipped Sinead O'Connor. Stay to the last few seconds and you will be rewarded by a statment of ACT UP's that will probably never lose its relevance.

I’m not surprised in the least. Your blog inspires me, some straight as nails chick. Well, maybe not that straight, but you know.

Congrats on the well-deserved, if not totally DUH! recognition. Keep doing that voodoo that you do so well.

Kimi, thanks. Motivation and morale-boosting were very, very much appreciated about now. I know it’s getting repetitive, but really, so many of us who put our souls into the battle against Prop 8 in CA got those souls sucked out of us. And it has been taking a very, very long time to rejuvinate.

The support of those of you folks either elsewhere in the US, or in enlightened places like, oh, Canada (!) has been extremely cheering. And for me personally, and for my work on this blog, this recognition is a major motivator. Wind in my sails, which were — what’s the term? — luffing up the wazoo.

Thank you so much, genderkid. That one thing — the helping others not feel alone — is TOTALLY, COMPLETELY rewarding of all the time and effort (all the falling asleep at the keyboard, even all the irritating the significant other that I’m compelled to do this first, and the dishes second. or third. or only when she begins to whimper.)

And I have to say: the challenge of writing some of the parenthood into this space has definitely made me a more thoughtful parent, if not a better one. And reflecting on what others say back has done the same. The report of my two kids, once they’re old enough to provide reflections on my parenting, will be the major test.

I SO would be a groom! Why didn’t I think of that before I hauled out that old chestnut! Will make quick work of it now! Many thanks!
