I for one will miss the lists when they are over. I seem to check in daily, if possible to read whatever the latest post is. I realize that you probably will not miss the pressure to write something daily. I've enjoyed it all. Thanks so much for all you have shared. Love to all,

fun stuff - I learned that Lance Armstrong and I were born on the exact same day and year. Jada Pinkett Smith, Robert Blake and James Gandolfini share my birthday and Jimi Hendrix died on my birthday!!
