But Larry, over at Patently Queer passed along the award to me. Well, me and four others. Sigh. Just like Brettcajun, I am included where "we're all winners". That only happens in Little League where everyone then gets a trophy, even for coming in dead last. Hello??? Do we remember the failure I was at the Jiggy Whore DanceOff III?
It still stings. Sob.

All that being said, Larry said some really nice things about me, which I will repost here:
Blobby’s Blog — Blobby is up in Cleveland, my old stomping grounds, and what I consider to be the best place I’ve ever lived. He just completed a one-year marathon in which he posted every single day for a year. I’m lucky if I can post half that often! His dry wit and subtle nuances are right up my alley.
See Jon/Morty/Becca/Dith: I am subtle!
I think I'm supposed to pass this along to other bloggers I read, and I'm happy to do it, but I don't know I have 5 that haven't already received it. But I'll at least try:
Rebecca Flowers. ...and while I love her like the wife I'll never have, her blogging, as of late....well..........just doesn't exist. I give her slack for that - with those two kids she has to help raise, her teaching job and trying to get her second novel published (which I am not a part of this time - yet she still gets the shout out). That she really is a great writer doesn't hurt either.
Jake, over at NoFo. I don't know him. I think we've exchanged two emails - and that's it. But I really like his writing style. He's funny - and not hard on the eyes. (Morty, he's a marathoner.) But he's not fond of cats...at least as of late, so he might not like this award. I don't know if he visits my blog, so he might not even know the award exists.
Curtis, over at Let Me Tell You About It, Sweetie. I like anyone who likes me....but not in that creepy way. ...and I'm not saying he's creepy. Curtis' posts are usually short and to the point, but I check him out regularly - just to make sure he's out there writing.
And I'd be remiss for not bringing attention to Tornwordo and Birdie. Two other blogs I visit daily - whether they post or not. I have to check, right? You should too.
...on a side note, I forgot how much I really really like the title song of this post.
Song by: Mary Chapin Carpenter

Well, aren't you sweet. Shucks. Although I'm currently cat-free, the last time that happened was 1979; so I'm all over cat-themed awards. Thanks, Blobby. (Now I've got to think of something cogent to say on my blog. Homework!)
Aww. Thanks, man! I do have 7 feral cats that like to stay in the barn and visit the back porch for kitty supper. Lately, they've even let me pet them a bit -- with only minimal scratching of the hands.
your blog title was a popular song on the country charts when my marriage was breaking up; my ex always had to "win". thank dog he is on the west coast and I haven't had to speak to him since 1993!
I'm #1! I'm #1! And LOL, I tried logging in to my blog the other day and I'm LOCKED OUT!!!
