A great reader is someone  truly fascinated by others, other’s points of view, other’s perspectives and willing to GROW.

Jana Mlynar of http://headoverbeers.wordpress.com/about/ nominated me for this award and in the rules of acceptances noted below she provided the” Get Out of Jail Free” card. You see, Rule 3. Says;” The Nominee shall name his or her Wonderful Team Member Readership Award nominees on a post or on posts during the 7 day (1 week) period. I did not meet that deadline as I was nominated August 28^th . I was covered up in excuses so I needed the card or just fade away. Not likely so – Rule number 4 gives me the latitude to change or amend the rules…..I will amend rule 3 to include; “If for any reason that you deem valid and while pondering the question over a craft beer, you shall be allotted the necessary time to comply with the spirit of the award.”

I just want to say thanks to those of you who will read a post or two of mine and more so when you take the time to share your thoughts. I am irregular, maybe a Prune Ale would help…..I don’t post as often as I would like and don’t read nor comment as often as I should…I shall improve on both counts. Thanks to the recognition by Jana… I do hereby commit to doing better!

I have plenty of excuses, not many very valid but I have spent many hours pondering while quaffing craft beers post August 28^th, that I grant myself, and the new recipients,  that latitude to extend the acceptance period. I hope all y’all get a chance to spend time browsing “Head Over Beers”….wonderful writing, amazing recipes that feature beers, and quite witty! Go visit the 14 below and share a thought or two.
