300 ENTRIES FOR SUBURBAN ISLAND
Tuesday, May. 18, 2004, 8:39 a.m.

QUESTION: Why don't you just write a book?

WHAT I LEARNED: There's a lot to write about in suburbia.

It can�t be. It is! It is the 300th entry for Suburban Island. To celebrate, I�ve selected some of my own favorite Suburban Island entries to share with you on this momentous occasion. Thirteen to be exact. A baker�s dozen. Plus of course, the entry that started it all in November of 2002.

You�ll laugh, you�ll cry, you�ll be amazed by these modern tales of everyday adventure, high suburban drama, unexpected pathos, totally embarrassing moments, and the unfolding of small miracles. Perhaps you'll even write me a comment, note, or guestbook entry congratulating me on reaching this landmark and encouraging me to record more of my suburban adventures.

Thanks to everyone who reads this diary about life on Suburban Island.
