I still think it&#8217;s a riot that we have to go to neighbors to watch the show..\u00a0 It&#8217;s getting really strange for me to walk around town.. most folks know abotu the show ow.. and i feel a strange mix of pride, amusement and embarrassment of the attention&#8230; I&#8217;m not comfortable with the attention&#8230; but I like it sometimes too.\u00a0 I tell folks that I&#8217;m an introvert disguised as an extrovert.. no one believes me.. but they should. It&#8217;s very weird reading the stuff in the blogs about the show.. and about me.. Some of it&#8217;s critical and you\u00a0 need to have thick skin.\u00a0 Occasionally there&#8217;s some really gratifying stuff. I love how many kids are writing me about their interest in engineering and science.. I&#8217;m getting several every day at this point.\u00a0\u00a0 Occaisonally there&#8217;s just some really bizarre things..\u00a0\u00a0 For example.. today I saw the following post on the The Colony Facebook page<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"UIIntentionalStory_Message\"><font color=\"#3366ff\"><b><i><span class=\"UIIntentionalStory_Names\">Xxxxxx Xxxxxx:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                <\/span>John<\/p>\n<p>C. is the best&#8230;.It&#8217;s no wonder he&#8217;s voted favorite colonist on the<\/p>\n<p>official website&#8230;.I named my garden Gnome after him as a tribute&#8230;.I<\/p>\n<p>just hope my Gnome keep it&#8217;s clothes on next time it rains.<\/i><\/b><\/font><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><a><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" src=\"http:\/\/c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com\/images02\/81\/l_127aabf9daac47b880af5ccee287cdd4.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">OK.. gotta get ready to wattch..
