I was digging around tonight....
Found the first threads by Kanga. It was the middle of May this year. His original post name was "TieMeKangarooDownSport". Phew, what a handle, and ALWAYS made that song stick in my head all bloody day.
His first post was much like ours usually are: where to get the book, cd's etc. and admitting to "lurking" for a few months prior - which most of us do too.
Below is a cut and paste of his second post - dated May 18, 2006:
A few wise words from Emerson .....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
And .......
That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.
Allie responded first. She said she would like to cut and paste it on to her computer and I'll bet many of us did.
It was the first of many Kanga-isms that made us want to cut and paste and laugh and giggle and bring out our thesaurus and write and write and write and write. And - to think.
Yup, my friend. You are up my nose and that damn song is running through my head.
And bless you for that.
