Thought I’d drop in after seeing you over at Shannon’s.

I look forward to reading all your posts )

Just trying to set the record straight, Jerry. Glad Chipotle came through for you.

Steve, you’re right, but what’s your point?

There are some things worse than not blogging.

Obviously, I need to watch what I say to Andy, better known as “Mr. Everything Is On The Record.”

And Gardner, I might indeed be a hanging judge, but I’ll admit that part of my grumpyness that day (more than a usual day) came from the hard reality of facing the first day back to work after a nice holiday break. Things were better after a trip to Chipotle.

And I agree that lie is a loaded word. Honesty matters a lot to me. And I hate to fail.

Several thoughts here.

One is that I’d be thrilled to read more Andy posts. Ditto for Martha, Patrick, Jerry, and Jim, of course!–but it’s your post I’m commenting on, so let me say again: more Andy!

Another: whew, that Jerry’s a hangin’ judge. Yet that said, I’m moving for a mistrial here. See, my WP install doesn’t automatically shift from EDT to EST. That means my timestamper was set to GMT -4 instead of GMT -5. Put that next to the fact that I’ve gotten into the (unsustainable) habit of writing after everyone’s retired for the night, and hitting “publish” sometime between 11 p.m. and 11:45 p.m., and it looks like I made my resolution on January 2, blogged twice on the 3rd, etc. etc. I’ve fixed the setting and will fix the time stamp. I can hear Jerry laughing because I’ve taken the (secondhand) bait. Doesn’t matter: I want the record to reflect the reality. Like Errol Morris, I believe in truth.

Keeping track so early in the year might be dangerous Andy. I have only yet begun to blog And I agree 1,000,000 percent,keep up the blogging – you probably have only a small inkling og how much I (and everybody else) gets from it.

As for lies, as you know, I only have a problem with them if they are bad, i.e. ill-conceived. Lying as a rule is not a terrible thing, it keeps the people guessing

Is this your new plan, instead of avoiding me you are going to call me a liar and hope your rude comments will keep me away? ; ) I kid of course (nothing will stop the stalking heh).

I too hope everyone blogs more this year (well, except Jim I think he already does enough) and I look forward to what you have to say. Maybe I’ll even learn a thing or two. Instead of actually showing up DTLT to teach me anything you could just blog it all hah. Man I miss making fun of everyone. See you in about a week!
