select a famous American as my avatar from 2006-07-03 to 2006-07-09, in recognition of the U.S.'s Independence Day.

But I’m ready to be ME again.

was too long for the change. I probably should have switched to other famous Americans during the week but I didn’t feel like writing new entries each time.

If I do this again I will limit myself to a few days for the change.

A final quote from T.R.:

_“Life is a great adventure…accept it in such a spirit.” _

It was fun being Rick James for a few days. Why wouldn’t it be fun?

and a learning experience, as well, but other goals are calling my avatar’s name. So, farewell until next year!!!

This was a very interesting goal with a lot of great participants. Thanks to NYCineophile for the invitation. It has been fun.

thanks!

I had a lot a lot of fun with this one. Thanks NYCineophile for this!

Thanks to NYcinefile for the idea to celebrate the 4th. I must admit I’ve gotten a little hohum on the traditional ways to spend the 4th-fireworks and beer-not so much. Thanx to everyone for sharing some all-American stories.I still love storytime…

I have really enjoyed this week! It has been facinating to read everyones choices—it has been not only entertaining but informative.Thanks again to NYCinephile for bringing us all together.
