Let's be proximidade friends

Max is not especially high on blogging awards, especially from people he doesn't know - but when two people he admires very much decide to include his blog in an award chain, he is tickled to go along with it. Accordingly, THANK YOU Janet and Angelika! You give Max MUCH more honor that the little dog deserves. (But never mind that. :)

Janet of "Adventures in the 32-akrewood" bestowed the "Proximidade!" award to us. The Proximidade Award is described as:

"This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes for self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!"

I feel very proximidade to Janet right now. At least as proximidade as her Mountain Man would allow. Which, I guess, is not all that proximidade after all. But I feel close to her as a blogger. :)

The other award I am grateful for is from Angelika. Angelika passes to us the "Let's Be Friends" award. It could have been the "Go Take A Flying Leap" award, and I would still covet it because it passed through Angelika's hands, and she thought of my blog. Astounding. Not astounding that she thought of me, but astounding that she could pull herself away from Googling more Hugh Laurie pictures long enough to actually do this... this... thing to for me.

The "Let's Be Friends" Award represents:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

This is incredibly true of your faithful Max, with the exception of the part about not being interested in self-aggrandizement. We'll just fudge on that part. I DO cherish friends and blog mostly for the making of new friends, although none (to my knowledge) has ever allowed me to propagate them.

Again, thank you both.

Here I must confess, however, that I do not propagate awards that are originated by people I don't know. I have few enough friends as it is, lord knows. So I will simply pass them along to Canucklehead 8 times each, if that's ok. His fair-weather friendship means next to nothing to me anyway. Rest assured he would never concentrate long enough to read this far down in any of my posts, especially a post about blog awards. Never fear. I know the Canucklehead and his slothful habits well. Plus, he is Canadian and therefore doesn't read real English that well anyway.

Is there anyone out there I haven't offended yet? No? Okay, then. Thank you for your attention, such as it was.
