I'm jazzed!

Got an email complimenting my writing for my newspaper blog Life Afloat. Unlike efriends like Krissie (Australia) and Moni (Netherlands), who received an excited email from me telling them my blog was being published, this guy is my first international (Canada) reader who found me on his own. I didn't send the link to him. Kewel!

It came in as an email in my inbox with the vague subject of "good day" from a sender whose name I didn't recognize and my first thought was, ugh, my spam filter's getting sloppy, I'm guessing this is an ad for Viagra or a request to help move some Nigerian bank money ... almost deleted it without reading. So glad I didn't! Brightened my whole day.

Well, that and the fact that I have 6 days off. Monday is a holiday anyway (MLK Day). For the inauguration, they close all Federal offices in the Washington area - no one would be able to get in to work anyway. It's going to be cold so I'm not going to try to brave the crowds. I'm going to try to find a 'viewing party' somewhere near here to watch the events on tv and celebrate.

Very cool about the new reader!

Also cool that you have the day off Tuesday! We got notification of that and the fact that they will be airing coverage from 8-3 in one of the bigger auditoriums.
