Naked

Hmmm. So it turns out people other than my friends and family are actually reading this thing, which makes me feel rather exposed—ridiculous, I know, given that this is a blog and the whole point is that other people should be able to read it. Tee hee. But these last few months, I really have felt that this was like a souped up postcard. We hung out with the sea lions at Fisherman’s Wharf, wish you were here, etc. My first indication that strangers were frequenting the blog was when some guy left a comment advertising his book. I thought that was pretty cheeky but, hey, writers have to market themselves these days, so fair play to him. Then, I had my YA author visit. (See Ha! I deserved that for further information). Now, through secret squirrelly computer detective work, I know that I have at least once had a reader in Mexico. Exciting, no? Also, I seem to have a small following in New Jersey.

Ele your on a role with the blogging now! How on earth did you find out where your fans are from? You must check out my 'computer generated postcard' lots of pics of the boys and I try and keep it up to date. Not nearly as interesting a read as yours but lots of fun photos!

Ele, so nice to have youh visit! Now maybe you guys can have more regular views of your godson than the very irregular e-mails! )

Tobyns blog is all his work! He started it back when Isaac was born and Steve started a blog for him. I have had to transfer everything to the new blog because we can't access the old one anymore. The last entry he wrote last week and I think you can see a difference in the writing. He will be thrilled to know you have read and enjoyed it! He talks about being a journalist/writer and we tell him about you guys and that he could talk to you about your jobs sometime.
