Who am I? (Plus, Feedback Wanted!)

Congratulations James, for making it a year, and for the recent milestones you’ve achieved. I think you’re doing so well because you’re writing such good stuff. Simple as that. Peeps: check out this post if you haven’t seen it yet. James is preparing to mark his one-year anniversary of blogging and he is soliciting questions to answer in an upcoming post. I sent him mine already; you have time to send him one yourself.

This is too good to resist.

Diana and Sam should be in the air soon, if they aren’t already. Hopefully, they’ll see this sometime after they land. Congratulations, you two!

I’ve been writing my little heart out for most of the last week, and I don’t have anything for today, but we’ll be up to our usual tricks here this week, possibly with an award nomination or two thrown in.

On Teaching Our Children: White Privilege, Ageism, and Maintaining an Open Dialogue is worthy of the recognition.

True Classics

Before we reveal the trio of winners in our Saturday Morning Memories anniversary contest, we want to extend our thanks once more to all of our readers, but especially to the seven participants in this year’s event.

Third place, and the winner of a $10 gift card of her choice: Angela from The Hollywood Revue, with her intriguing piece on The Pink Panther cartoon series and its links to silent film appreciation!

“[I]t had never occurred to me that all those Pink Panther cartoons…
