I am really happy to see you are back online, I have really missed reading your blog. I was really hoping you werent gone for good. I can understand that keeping up with a blog like this can take a lot of time and effort, so you definitely deserved a little break. We all need that now and then.

Ingrid - 2007-08-11 12:49:42 I've selected this poem by Alfonso Quijada Urias to honor your return:

There's an Orange Tree Out There

There's an orange tree out there, behind that old abandoned garden wall,
but it's not the same orange tree we planted,
and it's a beautiful orange tree
so beautiful it makes us remember
that orange tree we planted in our earth-
before coming to this house
so distant and remote from that one
where we planted an orange tree
and even saw it-like this one-in flower

Gappa, thank you for your kindest of words. It is great to be back in the fray.

Thank you, Brian "The Maniac" Filipiak!

Hey, you chose that as your professional wrestling name, not me...

Thank you for the kind words.

Jim: Yes, I know the Cafe Luwak blog takes a lot of time to put together, too, and for busy people, it can get to be a lot of work as I'm sure you know.

It is nice to hear from you and it is fun to be back in the mix of things.

Oh, Ingrid.

What a lovely poem--and gesture. The kind of gesture that speaks volumes about the person making the gesture. Thank you for this present from your generous and kind heart.

It is lovely. Thank you.

It is wonderful to see your font again!

Ypsidixit - 2007-08-13 13:33:28
Thank you kindly, Anis. But it's so small that some say only a dragonfly can see it.

Hello again, how was your summer?
-------------------------------
Ypsidixit - 2007-08-13 15:41:40
Hello Dan, thank you for asking it is just lovely thus far. Lots of lounging on the patio, gardening, and floating. Very nice, as I hope yours is as well.

YAY!!!!! (and maybe a few more exclamation points, but, you know, I wouldn't want to overdo it or anything.) Great to hear from you again.

Such a pleasure to read you again!!! (And to make the most tantalizing comment of all)... someone actually approached me to ask if I would try to entice you to return, saying:
1. Ypsilanti doesn't really have a reliable news source.
2. Ypsi-Dixit kind of provided this service.
3. There really has been no good replacement.
4. There is a hunger for this kind of information.
5. I think the hunger might be great enough for many to contribute in an NPR/PBS type format.
6. I wonder if Ypsi-Dixit would be willing to renew her service if she was remunerated in some way.

This fan even alluded to forming a delegation and begging. I was prepared, but lo, just four days later, you had taken up the reins once more. We are both so glad you are back!

Suzie: Aren't you nice. Thank you for your kind words.

Ypsidixit - 2007-08-13 21:59:58
Lisele: wow. You really make me feel wonderful with such kind sentiments. My goodness.

Hmm, please forgive my ignorance: what is an NPR/PBS format, in terms of a blog? I'm a little slow tonight.

I do really enjoy Steve Pierce's news site. He even got a call from CBS--they humbly asked if they could use a video of his! I regard his site as the best one for straight news in Ypsi (and that is its purpose).

Thank you again.

Well, I'm late to the party, but welcome back, Ypsidixit. You've been missed

Ypsidixit - 2007-08-20 20:22:10
Thank you for your kind words, Kate. I missed kind readers, too.
