You Rock, Tony!

Or at least I wish I did. I fed a tip to a blog that I'm a member of and they used it. The three lines that ended up getting posted because of my information will not change the world and, in fact, by the end of the day the post had been pushed down to the bottom of the screen by other, more pressing, more current posts. When I checked the site today there was a message in the status line: "You Rock, Tony!" Maybe the people who run that blog attached that to my account because of the tip. Or maybe it's a case of "You Rock, [fill in the blank]!" for everyone today--actually, I've never even noticed the little messages in that status line before.

It is not often that I hear the phrase "You Rock, Tony!" directed toward me, and when I saw it in little glowing letters this morning I was startled. O.K., I didn't mean to say "not often" just now. In fact, I don't recall anyone ever saying the phrase to me. So, although I have not done anything as important or impressive as helping a pregnant lady in distress, this is the first time I have ever rocked, however fleetingly. There's a first time for everything.
