On occasion, I have been known to be a little thick-headed. In fact, one of my closest friends in high school used to say, "You're the stupidest smart person I know."
Now, not to say that I really am stupid, but I recently became aware that I wasn't aware of what some people might be thinking of my blog... But I might be wrong.
A friend of mine (who is a loyal reader of the blog) lives in Denver and came up to Boulder on Thursday to see me sing in the Anderson competition. After the competition was over, we went to Old Chicago to have a drink to celebrate my having won one of the scholarships. While there, he made a comment that I think was meant as a joke, but I interpreted it as one of those jokes with an ounce (or more) of truth.
Basically, he implied that the blog was a source for me to brag about my accomplishments. I only had to think about it for 2 seconds before I realized that anyone who reads my blog could definitely get that impression, and I didn't even realize it or think about it that way.
Let me put it this way, kids. I've been amazingly fortunate since having come to CO. Things have been working out for me in ways that are way better than I ever could have expected, and I love sharing the news. I've been lucky not to have many bad occurrences to relate to you, and really hope that that stays the same.
"Brag" away Cookie, if that's you want to call it. We're happy for you and wish we could sip drinks in celebration too :)
