Thanks very much, everyone. It has been fun posting at Dean's World and you have treated me well. As for Dean himself, well, I probably owe him an apology for the poor coverage. It was gracious of him to arrange this deal with other bloggers in the first place and the last thing I wanted to do was let him down.

Thanks again. Dean's lucky to have such fine readers--but I suspect that "luck" is due more to hard work sowing, cultivating, weeding, pruning, and harvesting in this instance.

(Yes, I do think blogs are like gardens. No, I don't suppose it really is a very good analogy. Yes, I make bad analogies all the time. No, I really don't want to hear it. Oh, shut up already.)

Happy reading!
