Wow, you're one of only 3,644 people! I bet he personally reads every tweet from all of those people too. Rick has big heart and a lot of time on his hands.
Okay, yea, I'm a bit jealous that he isn't following me yet. :P

http://www.edyoungblog.com/2009/06/the-cussing-pastor.html

anyway,
I'd love to hear your thoughts Bob!

Naw naw, if you're Cool *naturally,* see, it's ok to grouch at all the Not Cool people *trying* to be what they're not. Which is Cool.
Posted by: Jen W | August 16, 2009 at 05:05 PM
interesting take Jen! Ya, i guess either you're born cool and at 50 ya still got it, or you try to manufacture cool and you're an L7! right?
Posted by: TJ Lorimer. | August 17, 2009 at 04:33 AM
Well, I am an expert Not Cooler since Junior High, so I know how these things work *wink*
