An SOB and I didn't even realize it...

No one ever accused me of being overly fast - fact is I don't run for the simple fact I don't like to have both my feet off the ground at the same time :)

Yep - it's true - a month ago - week 65 SOB's - (one of my favorite numbers by the way). Thank you Ms. Strauss - I am convinced you are one in a million! A happiness influencer!

I can be a Successful AND Outstanding Blogger. Wait - I am! I'd like to thank everyone for the consistent encouragement and comments. Its a bit like going into the Hall of Fame. I sincerely feel the support of all the SOB's in this blog nation. Check it out - I even got the purple button (puffing chest out)

Here's the class I went in with - we're the 65'ers:
Tino Buntic - the 2K Blogger Guy
Greg Balanko - Business Coach
Gifter - the Internet Wishing Well
Robert Hruzek - Middle Zone Musings (written by a guy with a GREAT first name:)
Mike Wagner - Own Your Brand - a wonderful posting on becoming an SOB
Todd And - Marketing meets Media and connects - what a concept :)
Jodee Bock - You Already Know This Stuff

That's some tall cotton. I believe a visit to each spot in SOB nation worthy of our eyes and our hearts. Don't forget the CON in May!

And, DA - if you see this...looks like I was already an SOB when you called me one last week - ;)

I've had that happen. . . . Congratulations. You write like water. :)

Congrats, Bob! We were both SOBs at the same time! There must be some message there, huh?

Looks like we are in great company Bob. Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Thanks for the great compliment, Liz - love all analogies to water -

Jodee - we'll figure out the message somewhere along the line. BTW, great video clips on your blog. I even took notes :)

Indeed, Greg - we now have at very minimum the chance to know each other a little better - wouldn't have ever happened without blogging, eh?

Bob, congrats! I note that both you and Mike Wagner were slow on the draw! I can't picture either one of you as slow!

Bob G said...

Awww shucks, Robyn :) - flattery will get you anywhere :) - Mike just sent me an email...intimating I made him feel like a gazelle!

I AM fast like a gazelle - just ask Bob!

That's what I tell people now. Grin.

Honored to be an SOB with you and Jodee and the others.

Keep creating,
Mikew

Bob, I ran track in high school, ran cross country and rowed crew (with lots of extra running on the side) in college then spent 6 years doing weekly road work in the military.

Now my personal philosophy is to only run when chased! I tried to run in a downpour the other day. After (almost) two blocks I decided I'd rather be soaked.

All that to say I bet you're faster than me these days! Congratulations, Bob!

Thank you, thank you - You all have NO idea how slow I am :) one of my totem symbols is Turtle - a favorite Aesop's fable is "The Tortoise and the Hare" - and I collect turtle artifacts, symbols, and images.

Chris - you can join in the Spokane Fun Run (there's an oxymoron) called Bloomsday - wait...thats the weekend of SOBcon - maybe another year :)

Robert Hruzek said...

Congratulations, Bob, on achieving one of the truly great milestones of the blogging world!

I'm talking, of course, about the great first name, er, I mean, SOBdom! :D

Way to go, Bob!

And speaking of turtles, you might be interested in Karin's post...
