Thank you so much, John. Totally undeserved, especially since I have been largely MIA over the past months. But I have made a list of shiny new year resolutions, which include getting the finger out and coming back to regular blogging. It goes without saying that yours is one of the blogs I truly treasure for great writing. Belated Happy New Year wishes to you and the Missus.

Kelly: If I could write 1/10 of a percent as honestly about my life as you do — as well, damn you :) — I’d feel a little better and less uncertain about my own blogging (and indeed, writing in general). Thanks for a year of great posts; I almost never comment, but read every one.

I am beyond honored to be featured here on this lovely site. And, to be linked next to such wonderful blogs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Colleen (la communicatrix): Thank you for stopping by!

One of the things I like about your blog (and The Intern’s, now that I think about it), subject matter aside, is that it seems curated by a very smart smart*ss; I’m sorry only that it took me so long to discover it. (Your boulder-and-mountain anthem has just cracked up everyone I’ve shared it with. (At least, those who haven’t yet been disciplined for listening to it at cubicle-crossing volume.))

An auspicious list to land on, in all senses of that word. And I thank you, from all senses, as well.

(By amazing coinkeedink, I just discovered The Intern myself, and immediately subscribed. Whadda blog!)

Son: You've mentioned Authonomy before. As I said then, though, I greatly fear the potential for time-sinkism, especially at a time when I oughta be writing more. At some point I need to find a crit group, but I hope it will be one letting me deal with chunks (both mine and others') smaller than 10K words at a time. :) cynth: Well, my universe would certainly suffer without me. (Do I hear the word "smart*ss" somewhere in your head right now?) I notice you didn't even comment on the fact that I linked to your blog. And I notice, too, that you still didn't include a link when you dropped a comment here! My own reCaptcha tends to confirm what I just told Son of Incogneato -- to wit, I need to get back to working on the book: sibyls Arthur

Dear John,

I am so humbled that you included me…with such illustrious company, too! You and RAMH have meant a lot to me and others obviously, but I think Querulous put it most meaningfully–there would be a huge black hole without you!

Re-captcha: headier here

It certainly is! Happy new year John and friends.

And I thought I was so clever about doing a Word-press blog.
Take your time, John. Always nice to have visiters.
Have you got anything tasty cooking onthe stove? As I said earlier, there are loads of good people at Authonomy. I’d love to see you there.

Take care,
Brian

Son, Helen, Moonie, Squirrel: Any even halfway-decent blog is enriched by what the blogger finds elsewhere on the Interwebs. So thank you again, finds o’mine.

Son: You may not know of a problem I have accessing WordPress-based blogs from work (not that I’d ever dream of trying): the IT folks here are blocking nearly all of them as “personal and social networking” time sinks. (They haven’t done the same thing for Blogger-based blogs — go figure.) But I hope to check out Beau’s new digs soon, in off-hours!
