Least you get the wrong impression, and well, for the sake of fair and balanced reporting, I figure I need to counter last Friday’s post.  And as I was hanging with the girls this weekend, making rope swings and checking out birds’ nests, I began to think — Some People Just Rock.

And while this may seem far from profound, it remains thoughtful and sincere.  I offer a quick thank you shout out to all of everyone who has lent support to this blog over the last two months.

*******

First, Mike Hines, co-founder of Home Path Products.  His support for this blog (and my business) has been unwavering.  Thank you for your keen business sense and for your honest commitment to sustainable building practices.  Oh, and Mike, Thanks for the RT!

Alycia Wicker, my sista in Moxie – Casa Moxie.  An interior designer and entrepreneur out of Southern Cal, Alycia’s sassy blogging style is worth plenty of smiles. Thank you for keeping it real,  as you dispatch fantastically practical decorating tips, daily.

Fran Holm Hogan – The site’s first official Taggee, Fran is a savvy business lady – recruiting is her thing.  Her post ”And There are No Excuses” exemplifies what Barry and I were going for with the Tagged! project.  Thank you for not being a writer.  Your piece on personal motivation reached a level of genuineness that most writers do not achieve.

Earl Mark Kaplan – What can I say . . . watch out ladies!  Thank you Earl Mark, Architect, and you know you’re doing something right when you can convince an architect to dispense advice on your site. Thank you for sharing witty tidbits and lessons learned. #FollowFriday @emk_architect.

Sean Lintow Sr, SLS Construction, based out of ‘Bama.  Thank you for offering a very important article, coincidentally one of our most visited.  For info on the EPAs recent changes to the RRP (Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule), Sean is a guy to talk to.

Jennifer Ostrowski Whetzel – A long lost friend, yes, Jen and I went to grade school together. And if you are from Baltimore – Ostrowski’s Polish Sausage, yep, you know.  No surprise that she herself became a “foodocologist” (as I call it).  Jen, thanks for reconnecting and for being one heck of a photographer too.

Brian Meeks – A woodworker in process, well, he offers a bit more than his twitter presence would purport.  He is actually something of a social media guru, at least in my eyes. Brian, thank you for getting listed on prdaily.com, it was fun watching traffic climb, and climb, and climb (at least for a day).  And you (general) should be reading his blog.

Cara Wilkerson — Probably the toughest of our ”Taggees” to tag.  A busy lady.  Thank you Cara for being one heck of an outstanding blogger. The collaboration between her and her husband, Eric, a real estate super duo — is something to marvel at.

Paul Lesieur - Our first celebrity poster, The Paul (capital T) is one of the founders of Remodel Crazy.  Thank you for putting out such a kick ass forum for contractors, craftsmen and homeowners alike.  Oh, and thank you for being such a cheap date (I paid him a buck for his post).

Kit Tosello – The graceful and kind CocinaDesigns. A delicate balance between down-home and high design, a Kitchen Designer by trade.  Thank you Kit for always being supportive.  Kit checks in from the High Desert of Central Oregon.

Amy Good - A fun-loving nature girl, who does this thing called Timber Framing.  Thank you for being . . . well, The Splinter Girl.  Amy can often be found trading jabs with the boys, Mike Hines and Earl Mark Kaplan.  (A shout too to her friend Pam Hinton, who was nice enough to post on one of the toughest days we’ve had with the site . . . ever).

These are simply Some People Who Rock, and there are probably a few others.

Thank you for reading.  Oh, and I hope this is only edition 1 of many, many editions.
