It's a small world after all
I and the misses were out lunching at Tony Romas - a rib place in Pearl city just above Pearl Harbor this morning. We're regulars at this place (they have damn good ribs) and frequently we get the same waiter. He's been there for years and today for some reason we decided to inquire as to his name. He replied with his name and my wife said, "I'm Nancy" and I in turn said "I'm rich".
A lady at an adjacent table (the tables are in pretty close proximity in this place) chimed in a louder than intimate conversational voice, "Pure and simple".
My wife gave me a quizzical look. I turned to the woman and said, "Excuse me maa'm but did you say 'pure and simple'"?
You'll have to realize that in my state conversation between strangers comes naturally as in any small-town-America so there was nothing unnatural or strained in the conversation that ensued.
"Oh yeah. Have you ever heard of a blog?"
"Yeah I think I've heard of that. Binary Log right?"
"Pretty much a now generation thing. But it's taking off in a big way...."
"Let me guess, this guy, who'd you say, rich, lives in Hawaii?"
To make a long story short, this woman is a writer for the Honolulu Advertiser doing an op-ed-society piece about blogging and she's been lurking Salon among others.
Have to let you know when this piece is published. In the mean time I'm a celebrity. I'm going to have to quit referring to my "two or three" ardent readers. From now on the phrase is "my three or four ardent readers". HeeHeeHee!
