Please welcome Kochanie, my first guest blogger
Over the last two years I've received wonderfully insightful comments from people that I thought should have been blog posts in their own right. Occasionally I've just broken down and reprinted them with attribution as separate entries. After promoting a couple of Kochanie's last summer I asked her if she'd like to post here since she doesn't have a blog of her own. She politely declined, citing lack of time and other external issues. Times change and I'm delighted to say she's accepted my most recent invitation.
At least so far I haven't figured out how to enable for her the little administrator's cheat I use to reply directly to your comments so at least for now when she chooses to respond she'll need to use the regular commenting system. And, since her posts are going to be... well... *her posts* my comments to her will be regular comments as well.
A few moments ago I heard on the radio that Thomas Jefferson had a motto for his guests: "Eat as you please, and converse with ease." Though we've never met or spoken Kochanie is such a guest. The first here but not, I hope, the last. My invitation to her, as it would be for any guest I'd invite to dinner, is to post as she pleases and converse with ease.
Sincerely,

I have appreciated Kochanie's comments in the past and look forward to her posts.
Thanks, Avalon. I return the compliment, most sincerely.
Looking forward to hearing more from you Kochanie :)
Cool. I'm looking forward to her posts as well.
