Many years ago (pre-blog), I traveled with Tricia to Manayunk , PA to celebrate New Year’s with a bunch of her high school friends. Tricia went home the next day but I stayed for three more, drinking and eating cheesesteaks with a legendary crew of partiers. It’s a great story for another time. Also that weekend, I met a young couple named Heather and Mike who had just kicked off a relationship.
Many years later, I was happy to discover that Heather and Mike had not only gotten married, which is cool, but had also spent some time following this site (more so w/ Heather, because LL Cool STC.com). It was great to reconnect and reminisce, but then they also hit me with that yes indeed, I am the worst blogger ever, and they were not happy about.
Like most creatures, I am a sucker for even the slightest whiff of praise. It’s an easy way to get to be POTD. However, connecting with one of the eight readers out there has also inspired me to try and be a little more diligent about posting. The trick is to keep a notebook or smartphone on one’s person at all time and write down ideas as soon as they come. If you don’t, they scamper off into the night.
So thanks, Heather and Mike for both the great photo blog fodder and the kind words of inspiration. It may have been the gin, but I’ll take it anyways.
