Dear Sillies,
I can't properly appreciate you all and/or pull the year together in one post. I'll simply acknowledge another handful of you here, while stating that I'm eternally grateful for how much you've laughed with, been playful with, expressed sadness with, AND supported me at Life by Chocolate.
Take for example,
Al Penwasser (aka Ken Lynch).
He's my pick for blogland's 👏
MOST ENTERTAINING! If you're not following Al, you're missing out. He's outrageously quick witted and incredibly thoughtful. A proud military Veteran and a solid friend, I can't help but love the man. At the same time that he went on a big trip, Al/Ken delved into InSanity. He wrote this, and I can't imagine a more flattering compliment:
"Engel's writing style is much like Stephen King's. I found myself drawn inexorably into the story. It's an intimate experience (with clothes on). No other book has completely changed my viewpoint on mental illness and suicide. InSanity really sunk its teeth in me."
Note: You might think that you're following Al, but he left and returned under a different blog name. So go and make sure to sign on.
I'm guessing Alex is even more handsome than his avatar:
Alex is friend to all, enemy to none. He and I go back to the early days of blogging, approximately eight years. Alex is always ready to help and support any and everybody. I still consider him one of Blogland's greatest gifts. Because he is. FUNNIEST COMMENTER Birgit 😜
This precious lady leaves the most insanely hilarious comments like this: "My mind is spinning right now especially since I am falling asleep due to not getting enough sleep during the night plus my dog is blowing farts that could make Putin go insane."
MOST LOYAL DEARHEART Geo 💞
Geo's a deep, inspiring soul who cares greatly about humankind and nature. Geo's every piece of prose and poetry is a gift of its own. Love and healing energy to Geo, from us all. (It's been a tough time all around, and we've missed hearing from Geo in the past month or so.) Love you, friend.
MOST WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY BLOG-LIFE?, Mike 😉
Why have we not met before, Mike? You're great. You're silly. You fit right in.
Note that Mike doesn't look as circular in real life. So I imagine.
