Here it is, the end of one year, and the beginning of another. You've probably noticed the last few issues of the News has been filled with lists and compilations. Letter writers. Community Partners. 52 Faces. Looking back at the stories of 2010.
Which got me to thinking, "Why don't I have a list?" And then I got to thinking, "Hey, I should really have a list."
So then, I looked at the clock, and said to myself, "You know, it's at least two hours before this deadline ends, I could write a list right now."
So, with a nod to all of the lists, wether they're in the Hood River News, David Letterman's Top 10 List, or the 25 Best Dressed Folk Dancers from Lower New Zealand (I made that one up), here is my list - everyone who's participated on my Blog for 2010, and it's my way of sincerely saying "thanks."
Now, where did I put that grocery list?
