OK - not really an ode. Don't have the brain power to wrap my head around that one today, but if anyone else does please post it here along with all your thanks and appreciation for our two awesome MLs - Jules & Kristin!
I would personally like to thank you both very much for being so welcoming even to those of us who seldom (cough never) make write-ins. For my first two NaNos I was rather housebound most of the time - except for doctors appointments and physical therapy/exercise. Between my newborn in 2007 (thus my FAIL) and my continuing fibromyalgia (yep - still got that one) it was very difficult to get out, but I still felt like I was part of a group who was crazy enough to do this and succeed.
So, when I made it to my first ever kick-off this year, albeit late - sorry!, I felt welcomed and right at home by our two organizers.
Thank you both for doing what you do!
Lisa

Ditto! Jules, you were the first person I met in person from Nano and our conversation solidified my choice to participate. How's that for a first impression?! Thanks to both of you!
