But in the meantime, I’ll have to settle for Best Blogger “Finalist” … and I’ll have to settle for seeing it … not hearing it. Look what Sarasota Magazine just SUPER sweetly delivered to me today! And, yup, it’s going up proudly on my office wall. (Now, if only I could glow as radiantly as the woman on the cover!)

June 2, 2009 at 5:20 pmHi Mary Catherine,
Regarding the cover, if memory serves, wasn’t there something you wrote about women looking good WITHOUT makeup? Methinks you should make up your mind. 😉
Mazel tov! I am sure more awards will be forthcoming – and more job opportunities.

June 2, 2009 at 5:26 pmPoint taken, Howard — and you know what — I just noted the irony of how she’s so dramatically made-up and yet she’s supposed to be in the pool! See? Women aren’t even supposed to swim without makeup! Thanks for the Mazel Tov! Have you seen the movie Defiance with Liev Schreiber?

June 2, 2009 at 6:09 pmOops, almost forgot and Mary, hope this is ok with you: But – Go Detroit Redwings!
Ok, feel much better and thank you.
MC
June 2, 2009 at 6:15 pmThanks Dan Z — appreciate your kind words. Redwings? Is this some new bird I haven’t heard about? Okay, okay. I know it must be a sports team of some kind…. hope your team wins!

June 3, 2009 at 6:50 amUh…. Detroit Red Wings – Hockey Team… They are in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Pittsburg Penguins… it’s ok, the South really aren’t into hockey as much as the Midwest… shoot, have to leave for work….bye……
MC
June 3, 2009 at 6:58 amOh, hockey! But still … redwings? what an odd name! I’ve seen the Boston Bruins play and the team that is in Phoenix — I’ve seen them play too. Well, I kind of like the name of the Pittsburg Penguins, so I’m rooting for them, Dan Z — sorry!

June 3, 2009 at 6:01 pmHey Steve…..Kinda curious as to what a 76 Million Dollar quarterback can do? I wuld like to know, where the heck did Detroit get that kind of money to pay one player? And who the heck are going to be able to afford to attend a Detroit football game with no one working and almost all the auto companies going bankrupt? Say, the Tigers are doing incredible this year. But, for right now, kinda focused on this great Stanley Cup series against the Penguins. Steve, the Pelican Press printed my story……
Mary, look at the great, exciting blog-site you created! Man… you must be so darned proud! Keep up the excellent work and truly wonderful stories. I will be looking forward to your next blog….. Just had to cool off a bit since reading about your date at Y’bor… Jeesh…. kinda put the sauce to that one…ha…. But glad you did it. Maybe it’l make some guy’s out there spice up their dating scene…. Laters….

June 4, 2009 at 8:19 amI was thinking the same Dan with the Lions pissing all that $$$ away for a rookie QB but I don’t blame the kid.Hopefully he can do as well as Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco as rookie QBs last year.I read Detroit’s avg.house value is 18 grand!!!!!!
I saw the story printed Dan and you should be proud of yourself for all the hard work you did to get it published .Keep it up!.
I need spell check more than you.Even Boomerang spells better than I do:-)

June 4, 2009 at 7:54 pmSteve, I certainly appreciate all your fine comments. I’ll bust my rear, to fight for what I believe in and frankly Steve, with all the snowballing we’ve been through over the years, a person can only take so much crap. It[‘s that one thing I noticed about people in the South, they are so naieve and believe too much. Well, I’m glad I read “between the lines” and believe me, some of the things I’ve been reading, especially the column by Dean Cannon in the Herald-Tribune, I just couldn’t take any more. I will fight for our wildlife, our marine mamals, our environment and never, ever jeapordize our life here in Florida as we know it, just for a short gain and let the oil companies run away with suitcases of money after they’ve done their damage, all in the name of greed. Haven’t we all learned what happend when the leading mortgage bankers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did to the market by offering hundreds of thousands of subprime loans…aka.. millions of forclosed homes across the country.
I have so much gratitude for MC at having this excellent blog of hers and have so much respect and admiration for the accomplishments she has achieved. I see a very bright future for this bright and talented young woman.

June 5, 2009 at 9:46 amThat’s why I admire MC and you Dan because of the fight for causes you believe in, even though they may not be the popular public opinion.Your efforts really do invoke change or at least get people thinking!
