Well, I know that just hearing from you helps, and that you often produce a paragraph or so that I like to ponder long after the mouse-scrolling stops. ;-D And that all of my 'memories' are marked "Bob."
I think lately about self-publishing, and how LiveJournal in some ways surpasses any 'zine or Kinko's-derived chapbook. Once in a while on a weblog, an anonymous stranger sends an e mail or leaves a comment.I always like the sense that there's a broad universe out there, and there are so many connections to be made with people for that good, old-fashioned friendship experience. It's like owning one's own small press.
While inadequate in the sense of portability or, um, fame and fortune, the blog in many ways is a antidote to the woes recently enumerated in SALON by that Anonymous Midlist Writer. I'm sure you've seen it.

Peace, anyway.
