Forgive my giddiness...
...a few moments after I published a post on my nascent Open Salon blog, it was labeled as an Editor's Pick! I began blogging over there less than a week ago. Today's post is only my second. My intention was (and is) to write about a variety of subjects, not necessarily my mother's and my adventure (as I've been doing exclusively here), although I hadn't excluded that possibility. After watching The Memory Loss Tapes episode of the HBO series, The Alzheimer's Project last night and posting on it here, because I was so impressed with it and am aware of how few visitors I receive at this journal, I couldn't rest until I'd written a review of it at my Open Salon blog, incorporating some of my immediately previous Mom & Me post but amending, adding to, subtracting from and rewriting a lot of it, in order to encourage further interest in the series. Since that is only my second post at Open Salon, I was astonished that it was so quickly noticed and selected as an Editor's Pick.
    Forgive, dear reader's my excitement and shameless self-promotion. I'm so surprised and pleased I couldn't help it!
    Later.

P.S. at 1610 MST:  And, later it is! I just noticed the article mentioned above has been placed on the cover of Open Salon! I'm stoked!
