Affirmative reaction 
| | So I've been wondering, like I said yesterday, if I'm just overlooking female bloggers, or lazy, or stale, or if there's some explanation (if not excuse) other than being a dick. Literally and figuratively. So I've been making a list (in no interpretable order): Moxie, Sheila, Cheyenne, Esther, Dawn, River, Shelley, Jeneane, Elaine, Ruby, Trudy, Betsy, Jennifer, Erin, Judith, Betsy, Xeni, Gretchen, Denise, Donna, Ann, Lisa, Lisa, Ann, Joanne, Susan, Katie, Halley, Virginia, Deborah, Lesslee, Mary, Big Arm Woman and, of course, the Blog Sisters. (I started to write "sitters." A slip?) |
| | I've tried adding more (e.g. Dori of Backup Brain, there to the right), but things are getting crashy, so I'll stop. |
Listening closer
| | Yesterday Brian was Michael Krasny's guest on KQED radio's Forum. Not clear if the program was archived or not. It's a worthy listen if it was. |
| | I enjoyed listening to Michael and Brian's conversation so much that I got out my CD of Chris Lydon MP3s (picked up at BloggerCon), stuck it in the laptop, plugged the iRock into the headphone jack, and listened to a series of interviews on store & forward radio. |
| | Since the Cam Barrett and Stirling Newberry series wasn't on the CD, I stopped at a Starbucks in Salinas and downloaded them while I waited in line (while online) for a caffienated beverage. |
| | I was listening to Stirling later, in fact (for about the 5th time), when a cop stopped me for speeding just north of King City. Then... |
| | "Do you know the speed limit here?" the cop said.
"Sixty-five."
"Good. At least you know what it is."
"How fast was I going?"
"Eighty-four. For the last three miles," he added with a smile.
He took my license and car rental agreement back to his car and stayed there for a long time. Finally he returned, leaned back in the passenger window, and looked around the mess that was the front seat of my red rental Ford Focus. Open laptop. Camera. Cell phone. Wiring all over the place.
"Looks like you've got a few distractions in here," he said, again with a smile.
I mumbled a few disclaimers, reciprocating his smile the best I could.
"Here you go," he said handing back my license and rental agreement. "Set your cruise and be careful, okay?" |
| | I thanked him and headed on my way. |
Taking delivery, cont'd
| | I think it's unstoppable. |
Front & offcenter
| | First up this morning: emptying the downstairs of furniture, so the rug cleaner can reduce the effect of sewage saturation on the carpeting. Fun. |
