The Hono(u)rs List

In the UK, it’s traditional for the Queen to announce so-called New Year’s “honours,” including knighthoods, dameships, OBEs — membership in the “Order of the British Empire” (yes, it’s still called that for the honor, but nowhere else). This year, as you may have seen, Bono (of U2) received a knighthood.

Without trying to be regal about it, here’s MY honors list for 2007, acknowledging the contributions of everyone who participated on this blog during the year.

Quite a list, isn’t it? If you’d like a title to go with the hono(u)r, how about we call ourselves “Members of the Passion, People, Principles and Professionalism Party” (MPPPPP)? 

(To pronounce it, sing it along to the tune of “Papa-Ooo-Mama-Mow.”)
