Let’s have some laughs with the new blog format

It’s called a “blog,” which suggests a two-way dialogue. After several months of working things out, our blogs are true blogs now. You can instantly respond and read what gems other readers leave for us.

Yes. Respond. Answer. Retort. Or … get your frustrations out; spout off; have a take. If I write something that leads you to believe I’m savagely incoherent, tell me so. If you think I’m another Hemingway, by all means, lay it on me.

Now’s your chance. Don’t blow it.

Which leads me to the next subject. Blowing it. You’ll blow it with jerkishly obscene language. Let’s all try to be adults here. You know what’s acceptable and what’s not. I’ll delete any questionable material — and that DOESN’T mean I’ll yank every response that disagrees with me. I encourage diversity in opinions. That’s how we learn, right? But nobody learns anything if every other word is %^%$#@.

Got it?

Hey, this could be fun. Let’s have some laughs.

Just don’t blow it.
