HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FTLDP

This is the staff of FORT LAUDERDALE DAILY PHOTO. I thought you might like to meet the people responsible for keeping you informed of the strange and unusual that is the fabric of our city. Today is our first anniversary! It has been a lot of fun and I've met a lot of wonderful people. I will be taking a leave of absence for a little while to have a bit of surgery. I hope to be back commenting on your blogs in about a week. I won't be able to photograph for awhile, so my posting will be a little sporadic. Contrary to popular belief, I am NOT returning on the mothership to my native planet. So, thanks for a wonderful year and I'll see you shortly!

  4. Well, happy anniversary! We who toil behind our camera, meeting the daily requirement deserve a rest now and then, but does it have to be under a knife in the hospital?! Whatever it is, good luck and I'll be anxious for your return!!

  9. Well, if this is your staff at FTLDP, perhaps you'd better postpone your surgery, excise them, then hire some new people who aren't lying down on the job or reading Playboy magazine!

    Nah...best wishes to you for a great recovery...I know you're going to do very well and will soon be back with your humorous and iconic photos and scintillating commentary!

  33. First let me say how very much I appreciate you memorializing my initials in your blogoversary post. Congratulations, it is quite an accomplishment, really. Anyone who lasts a year is da bomb in my book. I hope all goes well with the surgery (knee replacement is it?) and nice try with the mothership subterfuge. We know who you are, just not what you're doing here - anyway, not yet.
