I have, at least, fulfilled the prime imperative of blogging: I blog every day, on 2 blogs. tho I prefer not to let that verb enclose what I do. I haven't conversed across the blogosphere, however. that can get terribly smarmy. I used to have a sweatshirt, made for me, that declared I HATE SMARMY. I would frequently be queried: who is Smarmy? and I could only answer that I hate the concept(s) embodied in the word smarmy. oh.
