Congratulations on your new venture! I will especially enjoy this upcoming portion since I have not been a subscriber since the beginning. Catching up should be fun. I think what will be good about this blog is that we will be able to see reader response much quicker than in the newsletter, which, in and of itself, should provide stimulating reading.

I too am going to be very interested in the really "old" stuff! Just discovered this site about 5 years ago. I have never visited a blog before, so this is also a new experience. Well done Randy.
This Just In - often abbreviated as TJI and when you were forced to change the name you commented that This is True would not be referred to by its initials. Not sure why that of all things from so many years ago stuck with me.
I just started reading this year. It's been a great source of amusement. Kudos!
Welcome to the blogging community, Randy. I look forward to "catching up" on the older posts, since I've only been with you for about 5-6 years (I think). Best wishes on this new venture!
Hiya randy
Wow what a pleasant change it has been to have your newsletter - common sense in the written word - too bad you're not a newspaper editor!!
I am really looking forward to your archives to see all the things I have missed over the years - and I am recommending you to all my friends and posting a link on my web site and and and telling everyone I meet and and....
Just read your note of support from your mom. Good that she's supportive. Here's what I could expect from my mom... "You're trying THAT? Don't you know that it's already been tried and everyone's failed? What, you think you're so much smarter than everyone else that's tried?"
The first time I ever stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan was in 1982. I found some stationary with their letterhead in the desk drawer so I figured I'd write her a letter on it. Several days later I got a letter back from her which started out, "I was surprised to see a letter from the Waldorf-Astoria. I always thought that was just for high class people..."
Gee, thanks a hell of a bunch, you old bat! (But she means well; it's just that encouragement and motivation are not her strong suits.)

Just because she's not "high class" doesn't mean you can't be. I know it hurts, but you can rise above anything -- and anyone -- if you work hard enough. I didn't have that pain, but still had to work hard. -rc
