RELATING TO PEOPLE THROUGH NEWSPAPER ARTICLES. Annalisa tells me that she has described me to people who haven’t met me as some one who relates to people through newspaper articles. I think it’s a pretty apt description both of me and of what I am trying to do through this blog. I like the description because I remember that my family used to relate to each other in that way, at the breakfast table and in the living room after dinner as we read and called out to each other from what we were reading. Later, my parents would send me envelopes full of newspaper articles, and so would my sweet Aunt Dorothy and my teacher Lois Larson. Annalisa’s description seems a good way to mark the third anniversary of this blog. Thanks to all the readers and commenters for the encouragement.

Your blog has called my attention to a large variety of issues that I would never have become aware of otherwise.
I always read it before calling you to get a sense of where your attention has been lately.
Keep it up!
I’m so happy that my description not only seems apt to you, but brings to mind pleasant memories of your family and old friends. As Henry said, this blog is a truly great documentation of where your attention has been and what has been on your mind. I’m really glad you’ve stuck with it; even when life made it hard to fit it in, you always have.
