My goodness. The old saw has it that time flies when you're having fun (especially when you get older); and this bit of time certainly has flown faster than a member of the Bush government heading out to write a tell-all book.
I'm referring to the fact that today I've been a member of E2 for six years. Notice I say "a member", not 'a noder' or 'been logging on here' or otherwise, though those are all OK too. A member, a part of this wonderful site and community of writers, kooks, shitstirrers, angels, daemons, and just plain folks. And y'all all know which you are, and I love you all for it.
I'm probably repeating myself from a previous year's posting when I say this place has made more positive difference in my life than almost anything else I've encountered. But it's worth repeating because it continues to be true.
Thanks, E2, more than I can say. Now, on to the future!
