"The time has come," the Walrus said,To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax --
Of cabbages and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings."
-Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

A few weeks ago, Eric Turner, of Secondhand Thoughts, did me the very great honor of recognizing my blog as one of his Wednesday Websites. I apologize for not responding earlier; the idea that people read and appreciate my writing is very empowering.
Eric is a "40 year old retired soldier, full-time student, future history teacher, father of four, and husband of one" - obviously a very busy man, yet he makes the time to recognize the efforts of fellow bloggers. He also encourages his subscribers to visit and comment on the Wednesday Websites, a generous gesture and one that models good cyber manners.
So I'm happy to return the favor: please visit Secondhand Thoughts and give Eric a listen. He is a thoughtful and articulate man and deserving of your attention.
*How could I have forgotten to mention the fact that Eric uses Dewey numbers on his blog!
Diane,
ReplyDeleteEric's "Wednesday Websites" is a great idea. By dividing the blogs I subscribe to into the days of the week, rather than just their topics, I can better get to all of the blogs I want to read and better participate in commenting on other people's sites. Thanks for including that useful bit of information.
I am late in thanking Eric as well for recognizing Best Practices. I need to do it today. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteAnthony, that's a great idea to make sure you improve your participation in the blogosphere.
New York State, Korea, Georgia...isn't it grand how we can all connect via the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteI must confess, though, that I still hold on to the fantasy that I will one day meet all my cyber friends face to face. It's a Baby Boomer thing (I've already been 30 twice and am on my third go round).
