Multiple mini-responses

I'm really quite gratified by the responses I've gotten to my new personal blog. I still think of the encouragement I received in the early moments by Lloyd and Laura. I'm thrilled that I have a group of loyal readers -- and their responses energize me. For example:

  • Tonight, I took to heart Catherine's encouragement to see Ursula K. Le Guin. Not surprisingly, tons of people filled the 2nd floor of Cody's Books. It was better than the usual book reading, not only because the stories read were so fine but because Le Guin is a really charming respondent. She seemed quite unpretentious, mixng humor with rather sharp insight in her answers to questions. More than that, she had an audience full of fans intimately knowledgeable about her work who wondered about that essay or this story written over decades.
  • My friend Ginny Hearn responded to a whole slew of my previous posts. I responded to one of her comments and plan to answer some others when I'm less sleepy
  • I wonder what Lynn will have to say about my new blog when she has a moment.
  • I didn't realize that there would many others in our blogging community writing about faith, Christianity, and religion.

Off to bed -- I'm still hoping to turn my daily blogging ritual into a morning rather than a late-night activity.
