Best Wishes

To Jane Hamsher, who will be undergoing surgery for breast cancer just a couple blocks from my house tomorrow. When this site was first starting out, Jane came by and expressed how much she liked it, and put me in her blogroll. There were days during the lean years where I was getting 30-40% of my inbound links from Firedoglake. I watched her go from a site at pretty much the same level as me, to a skyrocketing community (mainly during the Plamegate chronicles) that now is a cornerstone of the progressive blogosphere. I've been fortunate enough to meet her once or twice as well.

Best of luck on her surgery and recovery.
