Famous by Proxy

I've been out of town for the past few days.

I took some much needed time for myself and abandoned hearth and home. (Never fear, I will write more on that in the days to come!)

Imagine my surprise when I returned to update my blog and I see that none other than Rick, from A New Live Emerging, has stopped by and that he was even courteous enough to leave me a comment.

Now, being Rick's devoted blog groupie, simply knowing that Rick has stopped by, has left me feeling almost as famous as I felt the year I met Patrick Duffy. Of course, I was candy striping teenager back when I met Mr. Duffy; but dang it all, I really had a thing for the "man from Atlantis". (I've since met other "famous" people, but Mr. Duffy really touched me in a way that was memorable...I'm not sure if it was his kindness toward my awkward teen self or his dastardly good looks!)

Most of you are probably waaay too young to remember Patrick Duffy; so you will have to trust me when I say that back in the day, he was quite the hottie!

Ahhh, but I digress from the object of my adult devotion.

Rick, if you happen to read this, I feel I must apologize to you publicly. When I wrote to you several weeks ago, I specifically stated that it would not be necessary for you to reply to my e-mail. At that time, I merely wanted for you to know that I believe you have an extraordinary gift for writing and that what you write has a beneficial impact on the lives of others, myself included.

I never meant to imply that you rudely ignored my e-mail; although I certainly can see where that might have been inferred. I suspect you "get" that this has all been tongue in cheek, but in the event that I have inadvertently offended you, I ask forgiveness.

In the midst of all the hub-a-loo I remain your devoted blog groupie, famous by proxy!
