Kathi and Liz - This Blog's for you! I've been writing for an hour this morning--mushing two years of mullings about No-Pass-No-Play into the beginning of an essay. You two nudge me to write from different angles--and you are the only two people in the entire world who read my blog-- so I'll introduce you to each other.
Liz Weber is a writer from Ames, via Wisconsin, now living in Washington. (Liz, you'll always be "from Ames" to me.) We met years ago when, after reading several of her wonderful Iowa Views, I shot her an email. She shot one back, and we've been shooting up together ever since! Kathi, as a regular Register reader, you've probably read many of Liz's pieces. For a while Matt Chatterly illustrated her essays with an identifiable "Liz" character so readers could quickly spot her work. Liz, please send me a photo of your framed MC's, and I'll post them here at The Well.
Kathi is an amazing 4th-5th grade teacher in Atlantic. She is nearly famous for her ability to IGNORE the Hoegh boys until they at last settled in and behaved for her. I've suggested this model of discipline to H&S's subsequent teachers, and a few have tried it before ultimately resorting to the fail-sure method of headbutting. My boys' skulls are harder than kryptonite.
Kathi has a blog titled "Beenthinkinkah.blogspot.com" (That's "Been Thinkin' with her initials KAH tagged on the end.) Liz, you would love Kathi's sense of humor and word wizardry. (Her father is a writer and you can tell she is too.) Unfortunately, after posting the single "Sample" blog entry, Kathi has forgotten her password and can no longer post entries. The plus side to this is it only takes a second to read her blog!
Well, it's time to do something productive (make more coffee). The Boring Factor of this entry is much lower than that of the last entry because of my fascinating subject matter this time. *** (three stars of boring on a possible scale of 5 stars for a real snoozer).
All is well,
ab

With considerable sadness I must report that I still can't come up with the mysterious password. Is that sad? Pathetic? Sad and pathetic? I had written a most delightful blog covering what I've been thinkin' and then lost my delightful blog. Now I've returned to this blog to try, try again.
How nice to be introduced to Liz, the other reader of "Come to the Well". How nice to read I didn't scar S&H for life by ignoring them as needed. How nice it would be if I could think of my password. I have more to share but need to ponder my elusive password. Wish me well --
