   Inter­est­ing, then, that the IAL post was one of the first of yours in a long time that I was dis­in­clined to com­ment on. What a crazy world we live in.

   Also, you and I share — besides our gen­eral demo­graphic sim­i­lar­i­ties — com­mon inter­ests (same with Denny and our friend Ben; I wish they blogged more!). I com­ment for two rea­sons, really: 1) Because I’m inter­ested in the things you write about (almost always ;)); and 2) Because I like the way you write, and I fig­ure com­ment­ing is a way to encour­age more posts. Like the prover­bial rat hit­ting food dis­penser (wait, which of us is the rat…?). Hope­fully, the weight of my repeated com­ments won’t even­tu­ally serve to sti­fle your out­put. Maybe I should show some restraint.

   Oh, God, no. Don’t do that. You’re the best friend I’ve never met. ;)

   I’m not sure if com­ments would get me to blog more or not. It is one of my res­o­lu­tions this year to re-vamp my site. As always, hope springs eternal.

   Hah! I was won­der­ing if you and Mark knew each other for flesh or if you hap­pened upon each other through the interwebs.

   Hi, I’m commenting.

   Denny, I dunno, I com­ment on your blog just about any time you post any­thing, and it doesn’t seem to have worked. ;) Some peo­ple just aren’t blog­gers. Doesn’t mean we wouldn’t like you to blog more, since we like you and what you think (and what you take pic­tures of).

   Aprille, we actu­ally hap­pened upon each other via your web site. Really. It’s like you intro­duced us. You can give a nice toast at our wedding.

   I’m actu­ally not sur­prised. Once I intro­duced Denny to some friends of mine, they got very attached and started call­ing him instead of me. Of course, they think his name is Mecial, but that’s another story.

   Any­way, I seem to be a good con­duit for ten­der friendship.

   I com­ment on your site, Danny. I worry I will say the wrong thing or too much on a blog. Blog­ging is one thing. I have to stop the habit of vis­it­ing the addict­ing on-line dis­cus­sion at ABCnews.com (dis­ney). I am get­ting to the point of being able to see the hate speech and avoid it, gen­er­ally. But I notice I get tuned into the thing and my focus is into the dis­cus­sion, espe­cially if I post. There is a jolt of excite­ment to post to real-time read­ers and lis­ten to their feedback.I could say more but I am prob­a­bly bor­ing someone..

   So I am pulling back alittle.

   I am reminded of the char­ac­ter Towlie in South­park only I would say, “use your spell checker with every blog”. Good bye children.(aka Chef)
