So, here's a rundown on the stellar awesomeness of some of my friends in the blogosphere:

Becky saw Duran Duran in concert whilst in the midst of a multi-day business meeting, and blogged about it on her cell phone.

Anne is finishing her poetry book and it's getting published by a university press.

Fringes is getting married in Vegas sometime before the end of the year, and announced it in a blog post that hearkens back to the pre-Civil-Rights movement.

Ms. Strega has been tapped to teach creative writing this summer at my alma mater.

Monstro is getting up at 5:30 tomorrow morning to go teach so we can buy groceries.

And, the Comtesse might be giving birth even as I type this.

As for me, I took the boy on a play date this morning and scored a free double stroller. Not as cool as my friends, maybe, but it's something. Oh, and this is my five hundredth post on this blog. Do I get a cookie?
