Baby Come Back... any kind of fool could see, there was something in everything about you! Today, that Baby was me!
I have been visibly absent from blogging on Active Rain for over a month. Partly due to a very busy travel and business schedule, and partly due to a nasty flu. I received a call today from a fellow Active Rainer, Jim Hale (Eugene, Oregon), who I have had the pleasure of exchanging many comments with over the past year. Apparently, Jim noticed my absence and sent me a few emails inquiring where I've been. Relentless for an answer, Jim decided to call me today to see how I'm doing. How incredibly thoughtful!
Jim's call reminded me of the lyrics from an old Hall & Oates song, "Baby Come Back... any kind of fool could see, there is something in everything about you!" I was very surprised to learn that someone would actually miss my silly blogs. Jim's call also reminded me of how easy it is to go through our day, in a routine fashion, never giving much thought about thanking others for their random acts of kindness.
So, here's a BIG thank-you to Jim Hale from Eugene, Oregon. Baby I'm back!


Welcome back. Now I'll have a wonderful song to play in my head the rest of the evening.
P.S. Your postlets do not show up well in the right hand column.

Thanks Robert. Guess I was a little laxed in my Postlet duties too! Problem fixed :)
Jim's a stand up guy! Nice to know you've got someone checking in on you!
Melinda I'm so sorry to hear you have the flu, etc. but isn't it soooo neat to have been missed.

Welcome back Melinda, it is nice to have friends who care!
That really is nice. I often notice when the regulars aren't posting, but I figure they are just getting on with their lives and giving AR a break. But it certainly is a good feeling to know that you are missed.
Melinda -
You already know
It's good to have you back.
Baby!
Melinda, Silly? Silly little posts? I have never considered your post to be silly or little. Your series while in DC was excellent....great to see you back in the rain....looking forward to reading your posts
Melinda, it's good to have you back - I love your posts, and more than once I've followed your example and/or advice! Jim sounds like great guy!
Welcome back Melinda! I'm looking forward to seeing more of you and Jim is indeed quite a thoughtful guy!
Thank-you to all of my dear Active Rain friends ;)
Well hello Melinda my Friend and Jim isn't the only one that missed you around here, VB was wondering where that smiling face had gone!
