A long, long time ago, I can still remember discussing the seed of this idea with Lacey. It's taken a year, a graduate degree, and a meeting of minds in Orlando to see the light of day. I'd like to begin with a shout out to everyone's favorite lady, the illustrious Dr. Graves. I could write essays on all the ways she personifies cool, but suffice it to say that without her creativity and expertise that you would not be reading these words. I can never hope to be as hip as Lacey, and I know my blog won't stand against hers in terms of quality, design, photography or content. But I prefer not to think of it as a competition; it's more of a monarch/subject relationship, and I seek to bring glory to the crown. Let it hereby be declared that another blog has been annexed to the queendom of lay-c.com, and may it grow and prosper in reflection of its origins. Long live the queen!
Oh, and as for the title, I can remember the original requirements:
Post regularly
Be thoughtful
and no "I had toast for brekkie"
I find that only too fitting a title. And I think the best way to begin is by allowing Lacey's original post to stand. I'm not one for too much "meaning" or "purpose" anyway, right?
P.S. Don't expect things to stay the same. Change is afoot!
