Now that I can write again, I would love to kick it off with a special message from Congressman Chris Bell . He sent KT and me a message thanking our community for our support. The Congressman has said it is ok for publication, and so it is my honor to let you all know how appreciative he truly is. I can't thank you all enough for what you did yesterday.

Longtime readers may remember that back in the old days (i.e. 2005/2006) I was not the biggest fan in the blogosphere of a man who ran for Governor named Chris Bell.
