Lucky 7!

Seven days a week, for seven years, OMG has continued to post and make their presence known.  Sometimes in big way,  sometimes in small ways but always there.

And it all started with this :

Ready, Set, Go!

"Jake seriously, I don't think that's what they had in mind when they said beard."
Overheard in Chilmark 

And it's given us all this

After all these years, and all these post and comments some might say we might have a seven year itch.  A seven year itch?  Not us.  The only itch we've got, is itching to see them live the best genuine, joyful lives they can have.

And we'll be here making our way every single day.

We celebrate 7!   in our own special way:

6th Sense

Hard to believe it was today that OMG got ready got set and went forth or sixth as the case may be.

when they said beard."

I was told when we started that OMG wouldn't last a year and now 6 years and 2188 posts ( with 314 Out Spotlights) later we are still here and still talking about our favorite pair. Who knew?

And during that time we've kept talking about two fellas who found each other and the rest is history.

We have talked, discussed, sometimes argued, theorized, discovered, uncovered, and shared.  Yeah, sometimes we get lost in the flotsam and jetsam of the shenanigans but then you remember the reason that this all began.

People have come and gone,  some came back,  new people joined in, and some have hung in all this time. A big thanks to everyone who has come and come back and hung in there.

  And along the way a community was formed. 

Over the years, there have been new jobs, new homes, layoffs, loves and losses, hellos and good-byes. And there have been new friendships, and trips, and get-togethers, and emails, and text message, online chats, and phone calls that close the gap of the thousands of miles we are spread over.  And yeah, there have been challenges, crisis, and sometimes failure but more often success and friends who are there to help and to share. 

Those are the important things.  Those are the things to remember.

But no worries one day Godot will come,  and we will still have plenty to talk about.

Just like the day OMG started, we're here and we're staying. 

Thanks to everyone for making OMG's 6th Birthday happen. Couldn't have done it without all of you.

Happy Birthday OMG!
