Hey. I've been wandering beside you on this path through "Wonderland"  this year, trying to keep up with everyone and getting finished this time, and I have to say I've enjoyed your journey this year. I like the poetry--when there's a choice I tend to go for poems, so I was happy to see your golden key poem, and then you used it in the next prompt to go down the silliness of an accidental space traveler causing problems (as they would of course). I enjoyed your parodies--the dungeon master, who was a clever take on the original (yes, I know that Carroll was parodying Isaac Watts "How Doth the Little Busy Bee") and I thought he'd appreciate it. I loved your Wheels on the Bus, which felt like the kind of wry remarks that a father would include in a song to make their children think, maybe because the original is so . . . tedious . . . And I enjoyed the saga of the puzzle solver, who was more clever than he could of justified being and lost everything--clever moral there.

I enjoyed the insights you've given into your own life. I'm sorry to hear about the frustrations that you've felt recently at church and the story about your new car was indeed something that was so frustrating that it can only be laughed at later.

I enjoyed your stories. You have a gift for character and humor. I really enjoyed your invitation for introverts--you made that so appealing for someone like me who would enjoy not interacting with people for a while. I enjoyed Teddy's hunting trip, and recognized the quotes right away--that makes as much sense as anything else. And I really enjoyed your pet dragon terrorizing the town.

All in all, I've really enjoyed wandering along with you on this journey, and I can't wait to see where you end up next. I'm rooting for you to finish the journey this year--although I know that life sometimes gets in the way. It did for me last year.

Good luck.
