captainsblogToday, that does not refer to my choice in degrees
nor to my taste in wines
but to honor the fact, in Roman numerals, that this blog's been Roamin' all overmy face the Internet for 1,500 entries.
I'd tried to pick up my pace in April, to coincide this event with the journal's third anniversary, much as my 1,000th entry hit on its second birthday, but alas, I don't have nearly as much to say these days, so I missed the chance. I did, though, manage through pure coincidence to time this piece of sesquimillinary with another anniversary of note.
For it was a year ago, on 6/6/6, that I formally filed the papers to begin my solo practice. (What other day would a lawyer start a business but one approved by Satan himself?) A year has come and gone since then, with a bit more money and a lot less stress coming into this home. There are times when I still find myself with a lack of the first and an abundance of the second, but just by shedding myself of bosses and coworkers and all their bullshit, what is there of each, for better or worse, is all mine, and that is a decidedly good thing.
----
An even more decidedly good thing is the continuous release valve afforded by writing and reading in this place. Through these words, I've had thousands of chances to reflect and respond that I'd never get in any other way. I've met a few of you, but I feel like I know most of you as among the best of friends a person could have. And even though there are ::sheepish admission:: many of you who I can't remember how we got into each others' journals, the far more important thing is that you're here now, and writing now, and an important person to me always.
Plus, at least one of you has a pretty amazing real-life friend: that'd be Joss, one of the ones I can't remember where the connection began, but with whom I've shared a ton of laughs and who, last week in New York, got to meet up with one of her fellow authors at the kickoff party for the newly-named Grand Central Publishing:
Joss is the chick with the nametag. Not sure who that other guy is, cause he's not wearing one.
----
I'll be back to the usual wranting and wraving in these writings soon, but I just wanted this moment to pass with nothing but thanks and hugs to all who've kept at it, and me at it, for all these M's and D's.
