Cyber-Neighborhood.
I continue to be surprised by some of the attributes of the blogosphere. On Sunday, as usual, I headed over to the American Legion Post to hang out with the Usual Suspects. Ken, my bodyguard and Anal Cruise Director was not in attendance, as he was home with a nasty cold. Obviously he hadn’t properly sterilized his innards with Georgia “wineâ€.
However, a minute or two after I occupied my usual seat at the bar, Dave, another of the Usual Suspects, said, “So, how is Kelley’s boy doing?†I was initially stumped by the question. Kelley? What Kelley do we both know? I then realized that Dave was asking about Kelley of Suburban Blight and that he was referring to her post about her boy’s recent bout with a malady that resulted in his hospitalization and more than a few tense moments for Kelley.
I told him that, at that point, the little guy seemed to be improving (he’s fine now), but I spent the next few minutes thinking about how much larger the cyber-neighborhood is than we often realize.
I like it.
I’m with you on that, as they say.

Awww…that warms the cockles of my pea-pickin’ little ole heart. You tell that Dave I said thanks for thinking of my Spidey. That kid was the sickest I’ve ever seen him – and he’s been puking on me at least every six months for almost five years now. I know from sick!
Yeah. I love the blog-neighborhood. I’m especially glad, Jim, now that you’ve moved on to the block. Or since I’ve moved onto yours. Or whatever.
At any rate, I’d much rather be neighbors with YOU guys than with some of my real neighbors. Egad! But that’s a whole blog-post in itself…
