Blast From the Past-Y

 From the 2011 A-Z Challenge.  And that, mes amis, was a long time ago.

Seems like only yesterday, doesn't it?

Ya’ll Come Back Now, Ya Hear?

     Hard to believe, but the A-Z Challenge is just about over.  Oh, sure, I still have ‘Z’ to do, but it really isn't much.  I'm tired, yo.

    NOTE:  Sorry, I won't be giving you a "Z" post.  In fact, I don't even remember what it was.  Like I said, it was a long time ago.

When everything worked.

    That being the case, I really won’t have much of a chance to say “thank you” to all of you who (or is that “whom?”  Better ask my English teacher) took the time to read my verbal diarrhea and, more, saw fit to comment on same.  For those “You suck!” comments, it was a snap to delete those. 

And maybe show how much I really feel.

    I learned quite a bit over the past 25 days: how “delayed posting” is a boon for procrastinators, that there are 26 letters in the alphabet (I always forget ‘Q’...maybe because, in Scrabble, you rarely use it without a ‘U’), my invitation to the Royal Wedding won’t be forthcoming, and that there are a WHOLE BUNCH of talented bloggers out there.

    NOTE:  I think the Royal Wedding comment hearkened back to an earlier post.  Incidentally, I never received an invite.

    You put me to shame.  I feel privileged to have gotten to know you and (heaven help you) struck up a cyber-relationship with a few (you know who you are).

    For my old followers (including Mom), thanks for hanging in there with me.  It’s not easy reading about Old Man Toe, colonoscopies, piss cream, and vasectomies, I know.  Look on the bright side, though.  At least it isn’t happening to you.

    For my new followers, thanks for stopping by.  I hope to give you a laugh every so often (if nothing else, take a look at my picture.  Hey, I bathed.).

    I’d like to give a shout-out to Arlee Bird from Tossing It Out.  If it wasn’t for him, many of you wouldn’t have gotten a chance to know me.  Any hate mail may be sent to him at http://tossingitout.blogspot.com.

    To the rest of you happy campers, as Elvis said, "I'll have another dozen peanut butter and banana sandwiches" “Thank you, thank you very much.”

    In any case, just so the title makes sense...

    “Ya’ll come back now, ya hear.”

    May as well.  Don’t cost nothin’....

Best fishes,

Al

FINAL NOTE:  While this post was meant to thank those of who came calling to Penwasser Place in 2011, I'm using it now to encourage you to come back next month (this will be my final post until the challenge kicks off on April Fool's Day).  

I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
