Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Another Blog of the Week implosion

I have been in the final five of Blog of the Week at Radioblogger the past three weeks in a row.

I am now 0-3. Sigh.

I barely registered a blip this latest one. My theory is the description given, comparing Fred Barnes to Peter Jennings. I suspect that didn't sound too interesting to people so they skipped it, as they were more interested in the Miers posts, not realizing mine was a Miers post. I oppose the Miers nomination. There were a lot of votes cast, and nowhere near that number of visitors came to my site from that link, so they weren't reading my post and deciding against it. They didn't read it in the first place. Or, they just thought the blog reeks.

Oh well. This pretty much sums up my destiny at Blog of the Week.

    Jeff, only you could make me laugh about this. I think next time, it will be OUR turn to get a little creative. The sad thing is that I remember the episode in which Susan Lucci wore that outfit!

    I am still speechless. I am serious about going to bed a winner and waking up to a reverse landslide. Uggghhh!

    You win some, you lose some. Oops. Was that insensitive? Seriously, you'll cash in one of these days.

    Hey, I always thought Susan Lucci was a hottie..

    But I wouldn't want to take you on a date, so don't get any ideas! :)

    Really, it's all in fun with me. Winning is not so important. I participate because it's a way to publicize the blog a bit, get a few readers in. I've met a couple of nice people through it.
