This is (sort of) our 1000th post. Let’s be precise — it’s the entry that bears the number 1000 according to Movable Type’s entry count. But MT likes to mess with our heads a little, so it also tells us that we are well short of 1000:

    This is regarding El Jefe’s entry about his spouse (or me). I have been asked several times why I maintain an overall positive attitude, especially after such a serious health issue. It is because life is WAY to short to be down all the time. What has happened is in the past and can’t be changed, but we can always remember that the future is not set in stone and we can control how we approach it. How does this apply to my husband’s blogging on the Speculist? Well, the Speculist has people who have a positive outlook and want to discuss the possibilities of the future. This blog helps people see past the now, and that includes my husband. With a philosophy so similar to my own and something that lets my husband research and comment about all kinds of things looking toward the future, how can I do anything but support him and this blog? I also wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Speculist for helping us during the past few months. Blog on!

    Peggy –

    It’s great to hear from you. Thanks for your positive outlook and your words of encouragement.

    Mike, Kathy, Stephen –

    Great stuff, gang. Fascinating, individual perspectives witha few common threads running through them. One thing is for sure — there’s no Speculist cookie cutter.
