One Candle. Lots Of Laughs.

Laurie Kendrick is having a birthday.

While in itself that is of not really noteworthy (birthdays tends to be regular events and are more easily predicted than the weather. Oddly, this seems to be a real surprise to many people who believe their birthdays are events unique to them. These are the same people who pretend to celebrate other birthdays while believing that in fact that in the entire cosmos, it is only their birthday that matters and has special meaning), the birthday we are referring to is that of her blog.

Over the past year, Laurie Kendricks’ blog has made it’s mark (not unlike your pet) in the blogosphere, been nominated for more than a few blog awards, has been referred to and has been noted by various regional and national publications. Ms Kendrick’s blog has also achieved some notoriety in her hometown of Houston, where the former TV and radio personality lives and is a regular and major hitter in that pool of media talent in that oasis of all things humid.

Kendrick see the world through an interesting lens. Read Koncept Amerika and The Crisper. For a really fun time, see High School: I Remember When.

Laurie Kendrick is a wordsmith in every sense of the word. Although she is noted mainly for her humor writing, there is more to her blog than just the funny stuff.

Her post, I Know How This Day Ends, is a wrenching look at the kind of Christmas we barely know exists. She shares her own Father’s Day message so that others might be grateful for their blessings and she talks to God- really talks to God. See also Angel’s Unawares, written after the loss of a close friend. It is about, as she put it, Arrivals/departures; Beginnings/endings.

Happy Birthday, Laurie’s Blog. We wish you many more- not for you, but for us!
