Two Outstanding Posts

The Saipan blogs have produced two of my all-time favorite posts this past week.

The first is from Jeff Turbitt. His post on an unexpected death moved me to tears.

The second is by Bev, whose post has inspired me to participate in next year's XTERRA triathalon. It just needs to be scheduled so it's not during the Baha'i Fast in March. Didn't it used to be in April?

If you haven't read them, head over to their blogs and take a look at these two moving pieces.

I owe Bev an apology

I came to find out about the impending release of MP Magazine because I realized I had misspelled Bev's name in the story on Blogging. I frantically emailed Ed, the publisher, to see if there was time to change her last name from "Caba" (which is what I thought her last name was after seeing her web address) to "Cabanatan" (her actual last name. ) Alas, the magazine had already been printed and as I found out, is to be released next week. Bev was so gracious when I mentioned the error to her at the Bloggers Meet-up, but it's a big goof nevertheless. I'm so sorry.

I saw the premier issue of MP last night, and it looks terrific. I followed Bev's gracious example when I noticed that my name, too, had been misspelled throughout the entire issue. The Forces of the Universe seem to have a sense of humor.
