It has come to my attention that there are a number of people reading this blog. This information comes per the counter established on the page, as well as personal accounts from readers at various and sundry family and friend functions.

While I am thrilled to itsy bitsy pieces that you are enjoying the experience of reading this blog, let me remind you that this is different from a book, or a newspaper, or anything else you may read (e.g., back of cereal box, label on shampoo, road signage) in that there is a structured and immediate process for you to give feedback.

All this time, I've been toiling under the misconception that this blog is to amuse me, my dear husband, various friends in exotic lands, various cousins who live via Interweb and the odd passer-by, since they are the few that post messages via the blog. But NO! There are more of you out there, my faithful followers.

Let me encourage each of you to realize your full potential as readers of this blog and post your comments as you see fit. Don't be scared. As a writer, I live for your feedback and interest.

That is all.

Hi Jack,
I can step up to the plate for your challenge! I see that you have "Wicked" on your To Be Read book list. I too, have been wanting to read this. Since I am leaving my bookclub in California I wondered if you wanted to set a date to get together and discuss it? Perhaps an informal book club? Anyone else interested in joining in the wicked fun?

That sounds like a great idea! I've been thinking of a book club, but only wanted to do it with people who I liked...not just join a random one (although you can do this on the Internet!)
We'll work it out!

We don't have any real comments of note to leave right now [appropriate for a post with no real topic of note], so instead, we'll leave you with this Deep Thought:
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
