Firstly I should mention that, yes, I do suck for not seeing out Blog Every Day April (BEDA). I blogged right up until April 28 and then I could blog no more. Like a marathon runner who gets to the finish line ribbon, looks at it for a while and then sits down for a …
The Greatest Blogger in the World went to press yesterday. Nothing will stop it now. Fate, destiny, something else, yada yada, etc. And to really kick home the subtle ‘journey’ theme of this blog post, here’s the first notes I made about the book, late in 2007.
