First -- I want to say congrats to all the winners and placers at this National! I was one of those stay at home people who got to read all about it! Thanks to Evan for ALL his commentaries that made this enjoyable, almost like being there! This Blog thing is the greatest!!! One of these years, I WILL make it to a National!! Thanks to Zoe, who put up with all of our stuff and "off" topics this week. It was probably the best week I ever spent, staying at home, keeping up with everything and sharing those little things with the rest of us "homers". It was almost like listening to a Superbowl!! I looked forward to it every day! I feel like I am on the Academy Awards show here. But my "award" was all this camaraderie. But, Oh well! It's what makes us all cyberspace family!!! Again, Thanks and Congrats to everybody!!
