Jersey Girl — Hello! Welcome back! Wow, your 35th, huh? That would be a great topic, actually. And oddly enough, my neighbor (I call them our “young neighbors”) JUST said that to me on Monday, also! She said she just went to her 10th, then the next night to her husband’s 10th (told you they were young!) and she said it was “two nights in a row of extreme awkwardness,” which made me laugh.

Dave — A Jane Austen novel, huh? Actually, I took that picture for the header right here in good ol’ Southern California. In fact, maybe I’ll write a little piece about it and put it in the “About” tab — it will be “About the Header,” I guess! ha, ha … Thank you for your kind words, and I look forward to more of your insights in this new home.

Superman — Thanks, babe. I sure hope you’ll visit every day! You’re my biggest fan, so if I lose you as a reader, I’m in HUGE trouble. Thanks for all your love and support.

Laura — Argh. Socks. For sure. … I find them annoying in 100 ways. Here’s a post I wrote about Superman’s black socks in particular: http://mizwrite.com/2009/02/13/mom-jeans-black-socks-and-other-things-you-dont-want-in-your-closet/ You can chime in about black socks if you wish! I always love your comments.

Debi — Thank you! You’re such a good friend! I was just writing about you the other day, in fact. I’m working on the Story of How Superman and I Met. And, of course, you were a big part of those early days. (In fact, I might have to collaborate with you — my memory is shaky on one part …) Thanks for coming over to the new blog and I look forward to more of your fun and insightful comments.

Come back and visit often! I always love chatting with you.
