Ahem. Tap-tap. Is this thing on?

A Nudge

"I've been duly nudged by a friend and reader, that I've been gone too long."

Apparently, it didn't take.

JC is one of my very oldest... actually check that, she is my oldest blog-buddy. The first person I ever put in my blogroll, the first blog I read regularly, and still (even though she's practically dropped off the edge of the blogging world) jump on every single post like a... like a... post-jumper-onny-thing. She's amused me with tales almost told about things like dancing on stepladders (I'm still waiting to hear the rest of that one.) and tales actually told about things like playing Crocodile Hunter with a recycling bin or Secretly buying horses. Or this gem that made me laugh so hard I had to file the link in my sidebar under "When I start feeling bad about my dating life..."

She's also tugged at my heartstrings with other stories on topics not at all amusing, and through it all she's been as real as it gets.

So today, on the anniversary of that miraculous occasion when this wonderful friend entered the world, I'm poking her again hoping to see her return to Blogaritaville. So grab some cake and trot over there and see if you can stir something up. And if not that, at least wish the girl a happy birthday, she deserves it. After all, how many people do you know that can make a sentence using the words "mumu" and "duct tape"?

For reals.
