    Liz, thanks a lot for the link love! When I finished writing that post on Blogsessive I kept thinking that it would definitely be one of your taste. “Zen” and thought-provoking. Glad I was right.

    Hana hou! I’ve made the SOB Cafe! Seriously, I was getting a bit concerned about not living up to my SOB status Liz, so I am greatly cheered by this, you’ve made my day —and I promise to be a more creative writer than I have been of late, for Robert Hruzek gets most of the credit for this particular post.

    Now I’m off to have a read of these other goodies you’re recommending.
