Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and must say I couldn't have earned that honor without the help of my family, my friends, my...

Oh wait. You were not talking to me were you? I hate when that happens! ;)

I got carried away, I forgot, I'm already married.

oh well, scratch that idea, my wife won't go for it, she can be so unbending at times. Maybe we could tea some time?

Don't you hate it when you forget important stuff like being married already. I was ready to say yes until I remembered I'm married too. The only person my husband will let me marry is a beautidful blond woman. I'm pretty sure about that.

Pretty, pretty sure...

When I go outside and shop for wood, I'm married but the girls still turn their heads. When I come home and take orders, I'm still good looking, but it doesn't count for much. When I go on the fray, I turn ugly, nobody likes me, nobody wants to smile at me, flirt with me, they just can't believe anyone could be so ugly! ... unless I knock out a poem; but thems rare animals from my keyboard. And then there's the way I abuse semi-colons; I'm a known abuser of the semi-colon. If I do win an argument around here, I win ugly, and I abuse semi-colons; who can stand to write with such a monster? I forget that I'm a nice guy on the outside; well, at least, most the time I am, and things like wives and kids, well, who can remember that stuff? When I sit down in front of my computer; the cyber world takes over, the incredible hulk busts loose from Mr. regular guy, I start spitting nails, foaming at the mouth, missing keys, abusing semi-colons; it's not a pretty sight. Next thing ya know, I'm cyber eloping the regulars! It just hasta stop.

whew.

Feel Better? Gnarls says it best:

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly [video version]
Probably [CD version]

I can't help you with the semi colon-issue but in Slate wait a while and you will always find a Dr. Suess, a Dr. Spock, a Dr. Ruth, or a Doctor Doolittle.

If nothing else works you can always come back as Little Bo Peep.
