Annual Apple Picking
| 9.26.2004
I’ve been blogging on and off for about 3 years now. My friend, Will #2 (not to be confused with Will #3 who’s dead or Will #1 who I met first), got me excited about the idea of channeling my energies toward authoring and posting thoughts that probably would never be read by anyone. With friends like that….
They say the exercise of personal writing is a solo event that’s for the author and not intended for any particular audience. My blog, Hoverblog, is mostly a resource for other designers and creative people looking for interesting and useful links and information. Mostly means: everything but the home page, which is typically a rant and rave monologue. Even though I post, I never expect anyone is reading it although that would be OK…I think.
So you can imagine my surprise when of all people, my sister-in-law, Linda, mentioned during our annual apple-picking event, that she frequents Hoverblog. I forgot exactly how it came up but I was both excited and shocked that I actually had met a real Hoverblog reader. Not sure exactly what the draw is, but I imagine much of it’s f r e a k s h o w appeal. I guess if she’s entertained, I’m doing something right. She ribbed me about it for a few minutes as retribution for an earlier family incident in which I made her laugh in someone's face with one of my famous take-no-prisioners remarks. Linda is one of my favorite in-laws--she tells it like it is and you would be crazy to cross her, but she has a heart of gold and is a great mother. You can usually find us hanging together on the sidelines during ANY Evans B-day party sing-a-long.
Well here you go Linda. You made it into my blog. I’m sure you’re already plotting your revenge but while you do, think of the bright side…I decided against the inclusion of your picture.
