Celebrating the 3,000th!

CelebratepartyYou know we love a reason for a celebration (where celebration = cake with candles and lots of crepe paper streamers) and today this blog received its 3,000th comment!

Woo-hoo!

Thanks to Valerie for her comment to my essay about Frau Schmidt, recounting beautifully her French version of Frau Schmidt, Anie.

In rummaging around my house for a gift to send Valerie in honor of this serendipitous event, I realized she probably doesn’t want a small statue of an obscure Latvian poet, samples of lavender hand cream not tested on animals, or coupons to Fun Depot, so instead, Valerie will receive a free, signed copy of my new book, LIFE IS A VERB, when it is published this fall!

37days was started on January 3rd, 2005, and I’ve posted 463 essays so far. But I must have been still reeling from the recognition that ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS THE YEAR 2008 and missed celebrating my third year of writing these pages. The 3,000 comment seemed another wonderful excuse for a party!

Eat a vegan, free-trade cupcake today in celebration of Valerie, won’t you?
