  • FbL Says:

    This is so wonderful! It’s so great to read this list with a great mix of familiar names that have been there from the very beginning and been so vital to what we’ve accomplished, and the new names that are joining for the first time to bring their skills and contacts to bear. Very cool!

    I love you guys!!!

  • xformed Says:

    Hey…let’s get out the list of well read blogs and ask if they’ll come aboard. I got two yesterday, both answered right up with a positive, sent an email to one this AM and expect an affirmative response to that.

    Posted and linked it at LGF about 20 minutes ago.

    You know Army is gonna have a long list of places. We need to counter that with a well prepped battle space.

  • SteelJaw Says:

    A rogue’s list if ever there was one, appropriately headed ;)

  • Maggie Says:

    Ha! I love you SJS! But the best comment was on my FB when Ken Adams noted “You’d be at the top of the list even if you were from Zimbabwe, Maggie”

    My head is THIS big!

    I have written to a “blue” blog that has a assisted us in the past. I am hoping he joins us again. If he does, I will happily give up the top slot.

    I’m going to throw my hat (website) into the ring this year. Missed last year but we’ll do AFTER the memorial fishing tournament this weekend for a friend of ours (benefiting a children’s hospital) and next weekend’s fishing tournament to benefit the MS society.

    Hey, we’re not a blog, but one of those forum thingies (fishing related).
