Most of you know Stephen Tremp from his Breakthrough Blog and his many blog comments. Stephen has been a blog friend of mine almost from my earliest bloggy beginnings. I'm a big fan of his Chase Manhattan book series (Openings to be released in January 2012!). Stephen Tremp was one of the co-hosts of the 2011 Challenge. We include his reflections post from this past May here today. Deja vu--you may have read this already.

Well, I survived the 2011 April A to Z Challenge as did many of you. I think survive is very good word. I met some awesome people and got reacquainted with many others.
Thanks again to Arlee Bird, Alex Cavanaugh, Talli Roland, Jennifer Daiker, Jeffrey Beesler, Karen Gowan, and Candace Ganger for putting together such an awesome blogging event and inviting me to take part as a co-host.
I had personal challenges such as an IRS audit for 2008 (why so close to the filing date) and lingering medical emergencies in my immediate family. This prevented me from visiting many blogs the second half of April. So I thank you all for stopping by my blog and saying hi. I hope you enjoyed the science-based posts as much as I did.

I learned much about myself during this past month. Life is precious and should be treated more valuable than gold. No doubt many of you had your own personal obstacles to overcome too. So, if you haven’t already done so, stop by Jennifer Daiker’s blog and Elizabeth Mueller’s blog for two well-deserved awards.
I’m going to take a few days off from blogging. Possibly a week. But that’s all. I have so much to write about that I have material to take me all the way through summer and well into the fall.
Now it’s time to rest and celebrate. Go and do something crazy. Just don’t get caught. That’s an order!
