What a great way to start a long weekend. Sarasota Magazine editor Pam Daniel let me know the wall plaque recognizing me as “Best Blogger 2010” — according to the magazine’s Readers Poll earlier this year — was ready and waiting for me to pick it up at her office.
So I swung by, said hello, and swung back out again, plaque in hand and huge smile on my face. 
Say I’m a big dork. Go ahead. But it made my day. Just something fun — and meaningful at the same time. It means a lot to me that Sarasota Magazine readers and readers of this blog voted for me in the blogging category. It means a lot that people enjoy the blog and cared enough to take the time to cast a vote.
Plus, it’s just plain fun!!!
Wishing everyone a super fabulous Fourth!

July 4, 2010 at 11:16 amWell, no need to congratulate me, Scott. But you’re right, I did post in late April that I’d won the award, and now I was just updating readers about the plaque I received from the magazine — the kind you see in restaurants and bars, etc. Was just a hoot for me to see my name on the cover with “winner” — just fun, so I blogged about it.
Thanks for the second thanks.
And for the good wishes for the year.
Same right back to you.
