Bicentennial, Man (200th Post)

Dear Mr. Robin Williams,

We here at If I Blog It They Will Come are celebrating an extremely momentous occasion. Today marks our 200th post as a site. While we expected to pull out all the bells and whistles on this special day, we've found no reason to shout anything from the mountaintops. You see Mr. Williams, without a photo of you looking at our blog there's no reason for us to break out the champagne along with our copy of Bicentennial Man.

Furthermore, with Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow this week we know we're doomed to at least six more weeks without Williams. We're not superstitious, but six more weeks without the warmth of knowing you've visited us and seen fit to send us a photo of yourself looking at our blog to djayek@yahoo.com is unbearable. This deep freeze you've got us in is making our teeth chatter and hands tremble. We've felt the cold sting of doubt that our dream to get you to participate in our blog will ever come true. To paraphrase a quote from your character Andrew Martin in Bicentennial Man "we try to make sense of things. Which is why, we guess, we believe in destiny. There must be a reason that we are here" and like that character we will wait 200 years, or maybe 200 more posts to reach that destiny, which we know is to get a photo of you looking at our blog.

So with that Mr. Robin Williams, we tell you that our resolve is strong even amidst this chill that tempts our very demise. We know that you'll one day warm to our quest and help us to feel the warm glow of that springtime sun. We thank you for your continued time and consideration. We're going inside, the wind chill is -1 degrees and we've got a date with the Ohio Players song "Bi-Centennial" (off of the 1976 album Contradiction) by the fireside over some hot cocoa. Hopefully we'll hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
The Bicentennial Men at If I Blog It They Will Come
