The suspense is killing me
I really look forward to tomorrow. Then I can finally share my secret with you.
It’s been tough not to spill the beans. The thing is, the nearer I get to being able to blab all, the more worried I become.
What if I misjudged you? What if I projected what I knew I’d like, and assumed you’d share my joy?
I’m tellin’ ya, the suspense is killing me.
How many more hours must I wait?
For what it’s worth, to make the time pass more quickly, we considered conducting a Food for Thought poll to see what your top guesses were regarding our Friday surprise.
I decided against the poll. I feared everyone would guess correctly, and I’d have nothing to announce. How anticlimactic would that be?
Even so, the funniest thing happened: Totally unsolicited, some of you have pitched your own guesses.
We only have one day until I can officially spill the beans, so I might as well share some of your guesses. They’re pretty creative. (I expect nothing less from you.)
Here there are:
I will start a magazine.
I will start a newspaper.
I am pregnant.
I have been offered a very cool job that will take me outside the area.
I have been offered my own television cooking show.
I can’t confirm or deny.
You’ll know by tomorrow.
Oh, wait, a couple of things:
First, regarding the redesign, this Generation 5 Food for Thought is our most ambitious ever. We’ll be up all Thursday night working out the bugs and kinks as we move furniture and redecorate and ready the site for you.
But as with any relocation, we expect glitches.
I welcome you, our Food for Thought family, to share your thoughts, observations and critiques about the new site (and announcement).
Also, please alert us via email (attndoni@gmail.com) if you see anything amiss on the new site.
I’m not worried. I think it’s already beautiful. But I’m biased.
I also think you’ll love our announcement.
I know I do.
I think it’s gonna be good!

Good thing I’m usually up past midnight!
We share your Joy, Doni! Whatever it is it’s gotta be cool.
You mean you’re NOT pregnant? Jeez, I’d better stop spreading that rumor all over town.
Do we get to peek at 12:01 tonight, or do we have to wait until 6:00-ish tomorrow? You’re kind of a stinker to have us all on tenterhooks!
Beverly, Our plan is go live with the new site as soon as it’s ready. I expect the new site will be up later this evening. We’re working on it as I write this comment. The champagne is cold, we’re getting close.
The suspense is killing me, too!!!!!
I feel like I’m in one of those old Mervyn’s commercials, standing by the front door saying “Open. Open. Open.”
It’s 11:35 PM. Do you know where your new site is?!
Hi Beverly in Eastern Shasta County. There are five computers going and the coffee is flowing. It should be soon now.
Well, it’s 12:30 a.m. and I’m starting to fade. Guess I’ll check you out in the morning. (the other morning) Nite nite. Don’t let that coffee keep you all up too late!
Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe peek!
…so your new york readers, those who, say, work on wall street and have already been up since 3 a.m. edt, are going to have to leave for work soon, without having seen the big surprise. that means that they will have to wait until they return home from work (as you know, no one uses the computer at work for personal purposes). i’m sure it’s going to be beautiful.
