Hey guys and gals, just a few things I'd like to mention before carrying on.
THANKS!
I want to give a big thank you to Huckdoll and Marsha for giving me a a nod in the last few weeks on their blogs. Marsha dedicated a very moving song to me by Anthony Skinner called "I Climbed a Mountain." Marsha is going through a recent move, job hunt and managing family of 7! That's a lot on one plate but Marsha was in the military so she's tough. And knowing that this very busy women thought of me during all of this means a great deal to me. Really it does.
Also another big thanks is in order for Huckdoll. I found Huckdoll's blog through a social networking site that I originally had no desire joining. Having found her blog, I'm glad I did. Huckdoll has been put through the ringer in her life as well but has found a great husband and has some wonderful kids. She hides nothing and I like that about her. She also has no reservations in telling people off if they're rubbish. So how could I not be relived by her rousing endorsement of my own blog on her site. It's great to get a nod from another blogger for doing good work. And good work is what I try to do here. I don't like to be run of the mill and it's both helped and hurt this blog. Could I gain more readers by changing the game plan? Yes. But I won't. I do it my way!!!
MsQ, you always give me a mention so let me thank you as well. MsQ is a lovely woman full of self reaffirming insights and wonderful stories about her family. Please check all of these people out.
And to all of you who take the time to read my work.......THANK YOU!!! I love you all.
ACHTUNG!!!

Is a trip to Germany in the Ricardo's future? I hope so but there's the tricky issue of air
fare.
Accommodations are set as a good blogging friend is willing to put me up. This is a most generous offer that I must seriously consider.
Just think of it.....
Oh, I do believe an exciting adventure awaits your dear blogger in Berlin. If he can get it all to work. Know of any good places to get cheap plane tickets? Unload here!!!!

George Carlin
One last thank you is in order for the late great George Carlin. This man was not just a comic genius, he was a prophet. Really, if there was anyone who could cut through the bullshit in this world it was George. Some say he followed in the footsteps of Lenny Bruce and if that's so then I'd say he took it, made it his own and elevated it to something that we'll never see the likes of again. George, thank you for opening our eyes and making us laugh.
Coming up....
