My 15 minutes of fame.
Tuesday, March 21st, 2000
Wow!
This site was the Project Cool Sighting for the 20th of March! I’m amazed, and flattered, and completely, utterly thrilled! Which is why I keep ending every sentence with an exclamation mark!
What makes me happier than just having lots of people come and look at the site is the fact that a bunch of you stuck around a bit, read things and even left comments in the forum or wrote personal emails to me. Thank you for doing that - getting so much feedback is really fantastic. And I promise that I’ll comment on your comments and reply to personal emails as soon as I get the chance.
Of course, now I have a guilty conscience about the many areas of the site that are a bit…thin. I kick myself for not having started to put up the tons of recipes that I have for the eating section. I’m mad at myself for not going through all those photographs for Vision like I’ve planned to do for 2 weeks now. I feel lame for not having worked on all the half-written movie reviews and rambling, unreadable essays on music that I’ve been meaning to finish for a very long time.
Ah well. You came, you saw, you read - and Jeremy and I were so happy that we danced around the living room like maniacs. It was a good day. It was a great kick-start to the week. It energized me after the dreary dreaded Sunday.
It’s also given me new impetus to write, write, write. I know that stagnation is death to a website, and I’ll do my best to update on a regular basis. So if you happen to wander by here again on your journeys through the World Wide Web, stop in for a bit, put your feet up, and take the time to read a new tale or two. I promise to try to keep things interesting!

Just sent off an email to you, and thought to see if you had anything new and interesting up before closing this down…and not only was there a great new piece, but you’re FAMOUS!! Good for you…what fun…adventure…excitment! I’ll show the rest of the family when I get them gathered around…and I’ve printed out all the goodies…I’m entitled…I’m your Mutti! Now maybe this will encourage you to try sending some things out…out there…every where out there!! Kisses and hugs…you "done" good!

Add another one who discovered your site from Project Cool - I came for the design (wonderful stuff, and so cool that Jeremy did it for you), but I’m staying for the writing! I did two tours through Germany - one as a teen with my AF dad, and another with my AF husband as a spouse, and I am loving the nostalgia of being able to relive it through your stories.
