I should also take the time to note that Hannah now has a blog. Has had, I should say, for it's apparently been out and about for a bit over a week. It wasn't public until Tuesday, though... anyway, many thanks to Hannah for being a little less inscrutable, and congratulations for being (for a brief moment) the blogosphere's newest child. There's some conglomerate term for a blog's birthday, but I can't remember it now and amn't geeky enough to look it up so I won't bother with it.
Should the fact that I'm peering through a one-way mirror into other peoples' lives bother me? It does sometimes; it's bad enough reading the blogs of people I'm actually acquainted with, but reading strangers' blogs borders on outright voyeurism. And yet, it's fascinating... millions of people putting the intimate details of their anonymous lives where anyone with telephone lines can get to them. Trevor and I have briefly discussed the whole blog phenomenon a few times, wondering whether it's a fad or whether something in human beings enjoys baring one's soul to the world, shielded from actual contact but not from sympathy and understanding...
