Thanks, hon! I’ll try to keep that advice in mind–given that I usually don’t care what others think, you’d think this would be easier for me! ;)

Good luck!!!

I can say from experience that having your writing rejected still beats not writing at all. So write first and worry about what others think second. I hope the class winds up being a really good experience for you.

Aww, thanks, MG! I enjoy reading your blog, too–I’m in awe of how much cycling you do. I’m a bit of wimp when it comes to riding a bike around D.C., but have kind of flirted with the idea of running to work, inspired by your rides. :)

I hope 2012 is stupendous for you, too. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll run into each other at Swings!

Don’t know that I commented on this, but wanted to express my ongoing admiration regarding your VORACIOUS reading. I love following what you’ve read. Also, I totally agree w/ you about DC Blogs. So predictable, unfortunately. I stopped reading, too, THOUGH I must give them a little credit as it is thanks to them that I found your great blog. I am rooting for you in 2012, and hoping you find a good space in both career and the other important aspects of life.

Hi, WordNerd,

I just now saw your posting of December 31, 2010, asking where we met Salvadore Llamas. I have a photo of him and my husband at his house with the beautiful bougainvilleas.

The next commenter, BO, says his grandparents are Simon and Maria Nunez Llamas. Do you know how I can contact him directly by E-mail? Perhaps if he were to go to http://www.ancestry.com and enter a message on the “Llamas” Message Board.

Thanks!
