But what of you? Tell me of your adventures. What are you working on? Are you still in touch with Kate? Is she famous yet? The rest of the Burning Lines crew? Wasn't that a blast? I remember typing madly at work, hoping not to be discovered. But type I must so as not to be eclipsed by another Burning Liner who was faster than me to the mark. It seems so long ago now. Thanks for the support for TBA; much appreciated. Bit bawdy and druggy. Hope it’s to your taste. Cheers! - Brian No Pictures At All would indeed feel incomplete.

Congratulations on TBA's seeing the light of day. Duly enKindled here; looking forward to a picaresque trip through your past. And I'm very glad to see it ain't just <em>words</em>, those pesky things... a Brian publication with No Pictures At All would feel incomplete! Why Brian — you old Son of… well, you know.

Your hat posts seem to be along the lines of Froog’s Daily Llama series. Well, except that he only does an impressionistic sentence or two per each, and you discuss the hell out of it.

However, while I haven’t read all your posts tagged “hats,” I couldn’t find a single on the subject: why hats?

Maybe you can enlighten readers over there at some point in the upcoming quantity-light/quality-heavy weeks.

P.S. “Other Men’s Flowers” is a wonderful name for a blog!

I had not previously been aware of this. I arrived at RAHM via a comment you made to our common friend Froog. Somewhat frightened by your draconian rules about commenting, I resolved to try, since our blogs have a few small things in common, though mine lacks the erudition and cogency of yours and yours cannot compete in facetiousness and feeble levity with mine. We differ in the way we write about hats, as you will see if you glance at some of the 45 posts I have in that category. Strength to your elbow.
