New signs of life

Now this I don't recall from last year...the waking up and rejoining of the dialog of folks who went deep into the night with our blogging efforts. It's pretty cool to contemplate, to be in the eye of the storm, so to speak (although I guess that analogy is actually backwards, since I'm the one generating all the commotion, or at least seeding it. On the other hand, since I know what's coming, and everyone else is just reacting, maybe I have the easy part. On the third hand, I'm probably overanalyzing the situation.)

Jimmy and I were having a brief discussion about the local blogging community, and while we didn't reach any conclusions -- heck, we didn't even reach consciousness -- I'm of the opinion that there's a community of sorts in our little corner of cyberspace that's just as real as many brick-and-mortar neighborhoods.

I don't know where I was going with that; maybe someone else can finish my thoughts.

(Sorry; I get all maudlin and philosophical around 5:50 a.m. every Sunday morning. Or I would if I was normally awake. I'm just sure of it.)

I felt bad going to sleep, knowing you guys would be up all night. (Not bad enough to not do it, of course, but still...). The least I could do is get up a *little* early to help see you through.

I wonder about the whole community thing, too. It is pretty cool to have a "little corner" as you call it.

Hmmm...can't think of anything to say... But I am here, just like all our neighbors still smart enough to be in bed right now are in their houses all around us.

FWIW...only 1 of my eyes is in focus so far...

I agree that there is a sense of community. That is what has kept me blogging - The community!

Depth perception is overrated. And rather unnecessary for blogging / commenting, near as I can tell.

Hi, Rachel!

I didn't see you there a few minutes ago...

Hey Brian, We must have both been posting simultaneously!

Brian, I agree on the depth thing...the tricky part is in reaching for the coffee cup...
