A big thanks (and an apology for taking a day to say it) to the inimitable Marie who is among the loveliest of beings in this quadrant of the known universe. Oh heck, in the whole known universe.

Marie, who without hesitation took on the task of blogging during my advenures away from the keyboard (for a change...for me I mean).

Marie, who prefers to watch the "sexy boys" than to waste time trying to impress them with her snowboarding prowess, hence giving me a chance to rest and pray for the strength to stand.

Marie, who can take a red slope and moguls without a board or skis at all for that matter. She possesses the power of flight.

Marie, who deserves to be a princess in a tower but prefers the lusty bacchanalia. Perhaps we at least have the latter in common.

Marie, who is the only librarian I know who wears glitter and flip-flops to work and sings the smokiest Southern rock you have ever heard.

Marie, who's kitchen would be an eyeful to the naked chef.

I'm sorry for not saying it before Marie! Thanks!

**Attention: sexy boys or rock musicians wanting to contact Marie, please send photos and proof of instrument.**
