the one about the one that's about itself
1/8/07
Oh, one more thing. Taking this long break from blogging made me crystallize a few thoughts : first, I really needed the long break for personal reasons. Second, when you have laryngitis, you literally lose your voice, but for me, I actually temporarily lost the desire to speak in the written word as well. It felt equally frustrating.
Thirdly, I'd like to do two things with this space from now on. For starters, I am going to post when I really feel like it, rather than spewing something useless. On the days when you get nothing from me, that's your cue to start a conversation on anything you want. We get a few thousand hits a day here, so your thoughts might just make a difference. Or just ignore me and go back to YouTube (where I hear they have several captivating clips of recent Dook highlights).
The other thing is that I might start asking regular guest contributors to the blog. They promise to be smarter and sillier than I am.
Oh, and one last more another thing: I'm not going to talk about the blog itself in the blog. Nor am I going to talk about talking about it. I'm just going to do it, or, occasionally, not do it.
And now I'm going to California, and will see you all there!

LUCY'S THIRD FRENCH FRY!!!
Been sick the last few days, but that picture made me smile. How happy was she on the FOURTH french fry?
Ahhh, is there nothing better than French Fry Love! (And I'll continue to look forward to your entries, whenever they are.)
That is exactly how I feel when I am eating a french fry. Safe travels to you.
Ian, just remember that your blog on its "bad" days is better than most blogs on good days. So... don't hold back on our account.
I might be game to fill in once in a blue moon. Any number of things I'd love to rant on about. Maybe I'll work up a draft or two and email them over to you to peruse.
A tip of the hat to the man who got me started blogging and who writes better than I do even when he's talking about some college somewhere in the South.
Duck, is it?
Dork?
Whatever you write, I'll read.
Great photo! What fun.
You can blog about the blog on the blog, or whatever you want.
It's yo' thing. Do what ya wanna do.
Dang, thanks CL. Now I have that song in my head. How many times have I come here and gotten some song STUCK IN MY HEAD?! Ugh.
Write whenever you want, my friend. Just be sure to write. (and frequently would be great, but you know, do what you wanna do)
(damn you, CL)
sounds like fight club
i still look like that when i eat fries.
Thoughts? As if you need a hint, write about sports more - and maybe more than just the NC love. Sports play a fantastic role in life that is little respected: the positive diversion, the peaceful heroic, the cool jerseys you can wear around the house looking like a knob (but who cares - you are home), the right to go to a vast auditorium or coliseum and just scream, the right to keep up with the home town team of an older relative and build a bond. Oh - and Duke losing. Or the Habs, or the Yankees or Man U or the Soviets or whoever you can hate the hate of the peaceful tribal hate. Yeah, write about sports more.
Sorry, Tanya! ;)
Oh, please write about sports less.
how's this for adding value to your blog: I dreamt last night that one of our Worsley Family Reunions turned into a shoot-em-up bloodbath. Woke up feeling so creeped out I couldn't go back to sleep. WTF is that supposed to mean?
