don't rock the boat baby...well, maybe a little bit

I apologize
~
I'm not a great linker
really I'm not
~
and
there are so many of you who deserve huge shout outs
for
your amazing words
inspiration
photography
warmth
and
overall
"I want to spend an entire day with you because you make me laugh and smile"
blogs
~
but
I can't even imagine where to begin
~
wait
that's a lie
~
I do know
~~
today I want you to meet
he's a merchant seaman
and
has an amazing sense of humor mixed with life knowledge
which makes for great stories
and
you'll think to yourself
while reading his blog
"I just want to sit and have a beer with you"
well
at least I do
~~
anyhow
if you have some extra time this weekend
can you go and visit my friend
~
he's on a boat with dudes
for long stretches of time
with just his computer and his camera
and
even though he's happily married
he could use some blog loving from all of you
*
and
when he totally acknowledged me out of the blue
on his blog
and
made me feel like a rock star
well
I decided it's time to make him feel the same way

  2. That was so nice of you to mention Mark. I discovered him quite by accident when he wrote a complimentary post on D.C. His daughter lives here and he's learned to actually enjoy my home town!

    He's a real sweetheart who adores his wife and daughters. He's taken some very good photos, too!

    But you, dear Beth -- I can't find the words to express my admiration! As the Terminator says -I'll be back!
