I too love the Link/Photo thread. I'm also glad to see Thread Drift resurrected in its original, everyone-is-welcome, truly drifty form. And for me personally, the PNW Tri Novices thread was a funny, fabulous little journey over time to a totally new venture for me. For me that thread was a hoot, and an inspiration, and a support group, and a way to track and be amused by the development of a tiny little community of training buddies here. And we will forever owe Wahine a little for that one. I love Ironman threads because I will always be impressed by people who do those races.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
