I haven't stopped by since Dr. John stopped having blog marathons - but am today to remind everyone:<BR/><BR/>"Roasting Dr. John Comment-athon".<BR/><BR/>It's nearing <A HREF="http://fortresslinna.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Dr. John's</A> birthday and this year it falls on Thanksgiving! (November 22nd) <BR/><BR/>Last year we <A HREF="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1925/633/1600/RoastingDr.jpg" REL="nofollow">Roasted Dr. John</A> and I've been thinking, what would be the perfect Birthday present for him this year? <BR/><BR/>COMMENTS!!!! Lots and lots of them! From those he knows, to those he doesn't know. From all over the world and throughout the blogosphere. Let's fill his inbox with Happy Birthdays.<BR/><BR/>How to do it: Be creative, he loves creativity. Post a blog on his birthday (Thanksgiving 11/22) dedicated to Dr. John and wishing him a Happy Birthday. Make Dr. John your "link of the day" and encourage your Bloggy Buds to stop by and leave him a comment and a Happy Birthday wish.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, even getting them to join in on the fun! Create your own Pigeon Falls photoshop as you imagine it, a post on trains, design and describe the perfect fortress or dare to post your entire blog in Finnish. <BR/><BR/>Leave a linked PS note when you visit other blogs this day to guide peeps over to say Happy Birthday to a super fantastic guy. <BR/><BR/>Use your imagination and have fun with it. See 'ya next week!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330486400933062955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-87433999637110120992007-11-17T07:46:00.000-06:002007-11-17T07:46:00.000-06:00Mr. Southern!I so enjoy what you say and see.

When I'm this far underneath sometimes I forget to look for the beauty and I forget that it's down here where the lessons are to be learned. <BR/><BR/>I have been noticing the "delicate workings of what holds life together," but have not seen their beauty, only their frightening fragility. Thanks for the impetus to shift my perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
