To Karen, my friend

Karen recently wrote about me.

What a gal! :-)

Yeah, I drive people nuts. Sometimes I do it deliberately. (Not often, I hasten to add!)

You know, this is a really difficult post to write. Karen is a dear friend, but we don't always see eye to eye. And that's the great thing about wonderful people and the Internet. Civilized. And, if I may be so bold to quote:

Despite frequently contrasting views on issues, Cathy, Reneé and Carolyn Ann shared an essential humanity: they knew how to keep a discussion politic, and not personal. No name-calling, no backstabbing, no excluding or attacking someone personally. When the discussion ended, no matter how passionate (or even sanctimonious) the posts became, the respect and the shared humanity were still there.

This is one of those moment where you say "oh wow".

What can I say?

You know what I can say?

Karen, I am proud you consider me a friend. :-)
