    And also, I feel humbled to see my blog included in the company of such other truly great sites. I see some of my faves there (including Lazy Thoughts, Musings of a Sci-Fi Fanatic, and more). Wow!

    Thank you very, very much, my friend.

    All my best,

  5. Wow. Honestly J.D... I am humbled by the recognition. I have such high regard for the writing you put forth along with all of the other fine writers listed here.

    It is a truly thoughtful recognition and I am sincerely honored.

    I am such a huge fan of the work on Radiator Heaven, Lazy Thoughts and John K. Muir's Reflections. To be held up with everyone here is something special. Thank you.

    The writing is often so outstanding on these sites I am often distracted from my own writing. ;^) It looks like I have others to investigate.

    My sincere thanks J.D.. It meant alot to see this today. Congratulations to you. You deserve it my friend. You set a standard!

  7. Thanks on behalf of myself and Marilyn, J.D. You certainly deserved this recognition. This is our second time around for this award but last time we forgot to do anything about the recipient criteria, due to exceeding lameness. Hopefully this time...

    The Sci-Fi Fanatic:

    You are more than welcome and also thank you for the heartfelt comments. I always enjoy what you have to say and really dig your blog. With so many horror genre-centric blogs, it's great to see one exclusively devoted to science fiction. Keep up the great work!
