Blogopause with Aside of Cat Blogging

Where’d she go? I realize it’s been almost three weeks since I posted.  That probably shouldn’t  bother me or anyone else at this point; though I do wish I hadn’t read all those best-blogging-practices articles before I started this blog. “Three posts per week plus three comments per week on other blogs” always sticks in [...]

This wise young cat seems to have peacefully accepted life as an adventurous, enjoyable ride.

Pets are such a great pleasure. The physical and psychological benefits of pet ownership are well documented. I’ve gone through “petless” periods in my life of necessity, but always cycle back. Nothing like the simple, microcosmic perspective of a soft, furry critter to balance bleak news from the macrocosm.

Perhaps it signals a new milestone in my blogging experiment - my first recognition of an enduring responsibility to this blog.  I apologize if this resultant post is a bit too sugary – I’m having an “Ah-ha” experience.

Thanks to HorsesAss.org’s Lee Rosenberg for posting the roomba kitty video on Thanksgiving night.

Can You Get Blog from a Hermit?

I have a world-class-professional-blogger-friend who sincerely believes all “writers” with an ounce-and-a-half of intelligence should be blogging.  He’s VP and New Media Specialist for a fairly large communications corporation so he speaks with some authority – and a reasonable bias. His personal blog, smays.com, is well-organized, clearly presented, and easy to navigate; with balanced, entertaining, makes-you-wanna-come-back [...]
