I tagged Jonathan in the last book meme I did. Jonathan is a new blog friend – and I really appreciate not just his blog, but his comments on my site as well as on other blogs. He’s smart, polite, funny, and really seems to get into the “spirit” of things (something I am admittedly sensitive about – as I wrote about here.)
Anyway – I loved reading Jonathan’s answers. It’s one of the best ways to get to know someone, isn’t it? Hearing their thoughts on books and stuff like that?
Hey Sheila, thanks for such kind words. I’m kind of out of the loop this weekend as I’m nursing the flu so I haven’t been making the usual rounds. I love that you consider me a blog friend as I do you. Just a year ago I had no idea who you or Dennis Cozzalio or Larry Aydlette or Brian Doan (Cinephile) or Kimberly Lindbergs even were and now I know that if I meant any one of you in person it would be the start of a lifelong friendship. And all we’ve done is comment back and forth on each other’s blogs. When I meet people who deride people “spending their whole life” in chatrooms or online commenting with others or typing away in their basement on their blogs I feel sorry that they don’t understand the meaningful connections you can make online. And Marissa is a new blog friend of mine as well and I never would have met her without you.
Oh yeah, and GO PATS!!!
