The recent, indecent flurry of blogging activity can be solely attributed to the “7×7 meme”; as its waves cascade around the internet like a virulent virus bent on instigating all forms of havoc on privacy, state institutions tremble before it. Of the challenged, three have participated, with varying doses of glee and dread. Thank you!
With Susan Henderson, I share a fondness for Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “Withnail and I”, and Victor Frankl. I listen to the “Seven things she says” and learn of her passion. Thankfully, I can park better. Malefactor at fortycalibernap imaginatively spins 7 pictures amdist the meme. Though we are travelling toward the same destination, he has a better grasp of the “how” (love). His “Seven things I say” prompts me to dial a magical number and hold a proper conversation with him. As rob (at history: other) mentions his other half, I dream of her. Thankfully, I’m on the other side of the world. His is a quite eclectic selection of books.
Alas, my friend Nick (Mister Hornby to the rest of you) has remained silent, so I nominate Blog Meridian as his substitute.
Normal service will now resume.

thanks for the nice words, tom.
i’m not sure about having any grasp on love, but i can most definitely chase it.
and as far as the conversation in real time is concerned, let me know when you want to visit NYC — i don’t live in the city proper, but i’m close enough and do have a spare bedroom
A belated thanks to you for tagging me–and for linking to me to begin with. If you or anyone else is curious as to my responses,
here is the link.
Loved reading all the responses, and ended up buying Po Bronson’s book, which is awesome.
sigh. No one’s ever home anymore.
Hi Susan! Yes, I rather regret the past month of inactivity, especially as I am at a loss to account for it. Perhaps it’s the over abundance of reading material on my “To Read” shelf but I suspect it has more to do with the time and reflection required to begin building a true home. I think I shall write about that!
Your Po comment has also inspired a thought or three. I shall write about him as well!
Thank you for visiting and cajoling.
