My apologies to all for not responding to your comments with a series of scintillating and incredibly hilarious bon mots. (Or even the usual stuff I spew out.

It's been one of those insane weeks that happen to me from time to time during the upcoming 3 months. (Farming and the Kansas City Ren Faire all at once.)

I will do the better. really.

Thank you for your endorsement in my taste of award recipients! My meager bribe was worth it! I'm so glad this is another new award for you. You deserve it! Enjoy!

It's a bummer that you can't go to the beer festival. If it makes you feel better, you can drink with me via my new daily blog series "100 beers in 100 days". I continued with the Belgian beers today with a great Trappistes ale. Cheers!

I'm new here. Are you drinking those tankards or making them? Either way, can I be your apprentice?

Yep - missing the beer festival must suck for you. OK, it isn't you in the pic, but that IS your weapon!

Omigod! I'll never have time to visit all those blogs!

Maybe I should take a vacation day and blog read.

Once again you've stunned me with your generosity. I shall cherish this award forever! Thank you!

...and, to even be mentioned on the same page as LOBO...

I must be pretty important.
