Aaron Cook Dot Com named me for the Link Love Wild Card yesterday. He picked me at random (but how?) This is where I randomly pick a blog and “hand” out some link love. And since it’s totally at random, it’ll most likely be a blog I’ve not come across before. So let’s deal the cards, shall we?

I’m 53% masculine and 47% feminine….
I was checking my stats this morning and discovered that I had been granted an award by Lin at Telling it Like it Is. The Break Out Blogger award was developed by Bob of Bobbarama: This award casts a spotlight on bloggers who are just beginning to draw lots of attention — the equivalent of a song with a bullet on Billboard’s Top 100 chart. Lotsa good posts. Lotsa good buzz. These bloggers are going places in a hurry. Thank…
