At long last our final "holdout" has blogged and what an interesting blog it was! It confirmed my suspicion that Yankees are a whole different species who often beat their wives and, not content with that, try to indoctrinate innocent freshmen, who know only the gentle ways of Southerners, to follow their example. Imagine not even giving as a choice "never"! As the year draws to a close, perhaps we should vote for the "Blogger of the year 2008". It will be a very difficult decision and I doubt if I will ever be able to make up my mind. I have loved every one I've ever read for one reason or another, and three cheers for Ben for setting it up to try and keep us in closer touch. No matter how close they may start, people tend to drift apart if there is never any contact. Let's not let that happen to us. Love to all bloggers! GMama
