My leaves aren't golden; silence isn't either, you know.

Greetings from persistently green though increasingly scraggly NoTex. 

I know you are out there, readers. I see your hits on Google Analytics although I have no idea who you are. 

My blogfriend, Molly, announced recently that her amazing site had garnered its 3000th comment. This fact has awakened the competitor in me, the one I have been secretly dosing with Ambien for a couple of decades. If you know me, you are aware that this could be a very scary situation indeed. Spending a fall afternoon walking near Dick Cheney with a bird dog and a gun will seem like a walk through Portland's Japanese Garden.

Perhaps I exaggerate. Or not.

Anyway, friends, I am comment hungry. Starved.  I refuse to believe that, of all the things I've written, something hasn't pissed you off or made you think. So flog me with your brilliance, even if it is anonymous. 

Don't make me resort to giveaways.

Thanks to my friend over at Do You Realize? for telling me about the iReply Movement. It's a very simple, civil concept.

If you comment on my blog I will reply, either via email or in the comments section, as soon as possible.

No one is more aware than I am of my lack of comment-worthy posts over the last few months. So, if you're new to this blog, may I suggest a few of my favorites (in chronological order)?

* Nostalgia-rama
* Ego, Superego, and iPod
* Immersion
* Island of the Broken....Siblings
* Three-Legged Race
* Shhh...Don't Tell
* "Dark and silent, late last night, I think I might have heard the highway calling, geese in flight..."
* Rain Should Fall Tonight

Perhaps your comments shall stir me into production.

BTW, Do You Realize? is offering several days of cool give-aways to celebrate her blogiversary. Click on over and pay her a visit...but you have to comment to have a chance at the goodies!
