stitchwhichI can't think of a thing to write but have been radio-silent for so long that I feel obligated, now that I am beginning to feel better (sure sign of 'feeling better'? Finally getting some laundry going. It always suffers when I'm physically blah.)
Hum. I erased, re-did, and erased/redid again the last two symbols in the previous sentence. I can't remember if the period is supposed to be within the parentheses or not. I should probably look that up. I'm sure google has a link that would remind me. Or perhaps making a long arm to snatch "The Well-Tempered Sentence" off of the bookcase would be better. Hmmm... apparently it wouldn't have mattered since I've committed an error previous to that with "(sure...".
See what happens when a person gets out of the habit of writing something other than facebok side comments? (And are not our posts on facebook pretty much just that? The sort of comments we'd make while standing next to each other in a coffee-shop line, or waiting on the cashier while we shopped together? As opposed to blogging entries, which generally involve subjects more dear to our contemplative selves?)
Speaking of that - Do you remember the old LiveJournal game of "Five Questions"? I believe, as my holiday gift to myself and hopefully to you, I must revive it this week. Instead of the 'year in review' sort of post, I give you:
Five Questions
1 -- Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 -- I will respond; I'll ask you five questions (different for each person.)
3 -- You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 -- You'll include this explanation.
5 -- You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
I recognize that we've all grown a bit tired of the "you must do this too on your blog" thing, but just this once, would you do it anyway? Because I believe that it will give your friends and readers a chance to interact, and to read, something different and intriguing. Or, as Heinlein would have said, "it purchases your franchise'.
