1. I feel like I’m “blogging” at a rich friend’s house. It may take a while for me to take the word “blog” out of quotes, since it’s such a stultifying neologism (or is it a portmanteau?). I definitely don’t want to hear from anyone who has an opinion on the things in that last sentence. I have a hard enough time just wondering when I am going to take all the ugly junk off my front porch, let alone read all kinds of stuff regarding people’s thoughts about ideas.
