HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A GRIPPING LIFE

The interwebs, like the world which they mirror, can be a vast daunting place. There are a lot of strange things out there as well as very strange people (of which, I may be one) and it can be quite scary. But then you discover places that are purely wonderful, and in those places are a few people that are even *more* wonderful. I and Ms. Vickie Lester would like to take the time today to garland one of those very wonderful people, as we wish an unbelievably Happy and Fulfilling Birthday to the unique Lisa, frequent and beloved commentator at Beguiling Hollywood, creator of the marvelous web log A Gripping Life, and our valued, lively, warm, and witty Friend. May all your wishes come true, Lisa, and the bright and sensational future open up for you!          George Kaplan

That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for the moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.        “Great Expectations”, by Charles Dickens
