I thought of your "Take our sons/daughters to work" posts that you've done for the last couple of years when I read this. Are schools in your area discouraging participation for NCLB attendance reasons?

You made me laugh, gotten me furious, and forced me to think about things. You've opened my perspective, comforted me, and joined me in celebrating my joys.

Likewise. I count myself lucky indeed to have gotten to know you, for all the reasons stated. :) Happy LJ anniversary!
