I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.
Over the years I have added several blogs to my "must read" list, including
The Daily Pequod.
My online friend Robert had a little celebration upon the 5,000 hit on his blog, and I had the honor of being the chosen one. The winner received a poem and a beer on him. I took a raincheck on the beer until we get to San Francisco (probably in February), but Robert did go ahead and wrote me a haiku:
Little bird on stalks
Flits from encroaching wave
Live crab in hungry beak
I've never had someone write me a haiku before. I find the honor very fascinating. And I look forward to the beer.
In other fascinating news, I've hit a month on my beard and I must say that I'm digging it this time around. I had mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was going to do a "Beards For A Cause" charity, but I'm going to help out by contributing to their website instead. I don't think I can commit to a beard that goes untrimmed for year and keep my lover, family and employment.
