Most CQ readers know how influential Hugh Hewitt has been not to conservative bloggers in general, but specifically to me and to my success in conservative opinion journalism. He has been a tremendous mentor and a good friend to me and to my compatriots in blogging here in Minnesota. Founding the new Townhall for Salem Communications is just the latest proof of Hugh as a visionary. Yesterday, I had the honor of an invitation to appear on his show on the same segment as Claudia Rosett and wish him a happy 6th anniversary for his radio show -- and 24th wedding anniversary to the Fetching Mrs. Hewitt.

It's my honor and privilege to thank him again for all he has done for me personally, as well as blogging and conservatism in general.

Addendum: He's not the only one with an anniversary. Best wishes to a great friend and a lovely couple, King Banaian and Mrs Scholar, on eighteen years of marriage.

Addendum II: It's not an anniversary, but Alexandra van Maltzan's All Things Beautiful has undergone a rebirth. Check it out when you can!
