I have this New Yorker cartoon taped to my desk:
I’m now going to apply the “breakfast wrap” test to all of my future postings. I sometimes worry that I go on about topics that are of absolutely no interest to anyone save myself and my readers are simply too polite to say anything. From now on, as I’m composing an entry, I will ask myself if my chosen topic is objectively more interesting than breakfast wraps. If I decide the answer is “no”, it’s back to the drawing board. And if I’m at a complete loss for material, i suppose I can just do another variation on the “disability and sex” trope. People really seem to eat that stuff up.
Sometimes we read but don’t comment.
sometimes we read, comment, but it won’t publish.
Sometimes we read and it has no resonance to ourselves, but that’s diversity.
So, keep on keeping on with your well rounded blog. I am happy to know that you do things, think things, that I don’t do or think about.
I got here by accident but I stayed because I enjoy your intelligent comments on a wide variety of subjects. I obviously find what you write about interesting because I keep coming back.
