Absent friends...
Those of you who know me personally, know that I'm pretty wretched at keeping in touch (actually, most people are in my experience, but I'm significantly worse than the mean).
Yesterday a friend I haven't talked to in years contacted me via this blog and I was able to talk to him for a bit last night. This is notable for 2 reasons: A) someone was on this blog(!?!?!), and B) it made the whole blog worthwhile. Sometimes I lose contact by accident, by neglect (this is often), and almost never by purpose. I actually do love staying in touch with friends, teachers, students, and others who have passed through my "life" (I use quotes because if you know me personally, you also know I have no life) even if I'm so horrible at doing so. No real point besides a thank you to all those who have been a part of my life, and those who choose to continue doing so. (you fools!)

Aren't all blog entries directed towards readers, in theory at least? I find that if I just want to talk to myself electronically that notepad or emacs or epm (shout out to OS/2!) or copy con filename.txt all work just fine. More importantly, I find most conversation I have with myself is usually verbal, and usually in the form of weird mutterings to myself that make me look sorta scary (scarier?).
In conclusion, yes pretty much everything here is directed towards (mythical?) readers.
