One year ago: True Crime
Two years ago: Managed
Jack and I slept late today, after our adventures last night. After breakfast, I packed my stuff and left, so that Jack could get things done around there, including his taxes! I teased him that he was kicking me out, but I knew he really wasn't.
I got email from him as soon as I walked in the door, asking if I got home OK -- it's a good feeling to know someone is thinking of you like that! There was a message on my answering machine from Jon Singer: he'd been in town this weekend and told me about a dimsum expedition this morning. Too bad I'd already missed it! But he also said that he'll be in town for Foolscap, which decides me that I do want to go to that convention this year. I'd been of two minds about it before, but seeing Jon is an incentive indeed.

As I was sitting at my computer tonight, I sneezed, loudly. A voice came from the sidewalk outside: "Bless you!" which made me laugh. Someone was walking by at just the right moment.
Jim Roepcke (tough to spell that name!) has a new meta-feature on his weblog. He takes the xml feed from weblogs.com and parses it to show, for each weblog listed there, who has marked it as a "favorite" and what other weblogs that original weblogger has marked as "favorite." At this time, I have the most favorites of anyone, which doesn't surprise me. When Jorn of Robot Wisdom ran a poll, only two respondents said they read more than thirty weblogs. I was one, and I think Jorn himself was the other. I think I read more online journals than most other folks do, also, so I'm really just continuing that pattern.
Of course, it did sting a bit to see how few others had listed me, but I know I have readers who don't have their lists at weblogs.com. This isn't something I want to dwell on; it isn't a good thing to worry about. The same foolish feeling is why I don't like to see other journalers' "journals read" pages with me not on them.
