This Is A Day To Celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           Seventy-six years ago, at Broadway's Majestic Theatre, the curtain went up on Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific."  But that's not reason enough to celebrate.

                           Eighteen years ago, on this very day, I wrote my first blog post.  That is right, darlings, today The Raving Queen turns 18.

                             I never thought things would turn out this way; I thought I would have stopped writing, by now.   As long as I can sit up and press keys, I don't intend to stop.  Yes, I know Tolstoy dictated "War And Peace," and "Anna Karenina," but I am not Tolstoy, and I may be ill, but I ain't down yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             It has been my honor and pleasure to share the past eighteen years with you.  May we have another eighteen more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               Thanks to all my readers and commentators.  I look forward to more excitement in the forthcoming year.

                                 Happy Anniversary, everyone from The Raving Queen.
