Seems Colorado used to be a wonderful place before it got so overcrowded. If you should hazard to ask any of these residents of this former paradise where they were born, they'll invariably answer proudly, "Texas!"</p>a. commented on 'Elaborate exculpation or lame excuses... you be the judge'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55052554688342006-12-26T16:17:08Z2008-02-14T04:49:00Za.http://profile.typekey.com/mademoisellea/Come towards the light...

<p>Last time I heard someone utter this proposition, I found myself slamming the front door into the faces of these Watchtower people.</p>
<p>Are you sure there aren't darker forces at work here? </p>

<p>And you know, you should never apologize for having spent more time with your family than the blogsphere.

<p>As far as the "golden age of blogging", I feel like the expansion of the J-blogosphere is actually a good thing. Back when it was small, it was much more cliquish, and it was much more difficult for a slightly atypical blogger to fit. Now the categories seem to merge, and there are so many J-bloggers of all levels of observance,professionalism, age, etc. interacting with one another, that new bloggers probably have an easier time meeting new people and fitting in.</p>Shmiel commented on 'Elaborate exculpation or lame excuses... you be the judge'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55052577088342006-12-24T20:23:23Z2008-02-14T04:49:22ZShmielHey, we (your stateside cronies) celebrated chag breakfast a day early today....you were missed and thought of, we each ate...<p>Hey, we (your stateside cronies) celebrated chag breakfast a day early today....you were missed and thought of, we each ate an extra pancake or five in your honor....</p>Maksim-Smelchak commented on 'Elaborate exculpation or lame excuses... you be the judge'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5505252cd88342006-12-24T20:14:14Z2008-02-14T04:48:35ZMaksim-Smelchakhttp://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/Hi David AKA Trep, No worries...

<p>No worries... Real Life TM always seems to intervene when we want to blog and other such diversions...</p>
