Jackie Danicki just pointed me to one of the very first posts at Cathy's World, where Cathy said something really nice about me* but couldn't link to me because she didn't know the HTML yet. So of course, being the self-Googling, link-whoring ass I am, I showed her how to do a hyperlink so she could give me the extra traffic and justify my bloggery existence. The rest is history! I'd forgotten all about that. Four years ago, man. Goddamn it.
And then there's a thing I wrote about her a few months later, back when I had this dumb idea that people would buy a monthly Paypal subscription to my blog in exchange for me writing a 100-word essay on the subject of their choice**. Cathy's chosen subject was, of course... Cathy!
This is helping, I think. It's helping me, anyway.
*And no, jimtreacher.blogspot.com no longer exists, for reasons I'm not going to go into. Especially not this week.
**The name of this experiment was "Treach-Whore," and it was not a big success. But a few people were nice enough to humor me, and Cathy was one of them.
