I realize now that I've just been going through the motions in extending you an occasional word of appreciation.  There is so much good reading there, so much honesty behind the well-turned phrases (something lacking here) and so much attention to making the whole thing inviting to the eye -- that I get frustrated on your behalf that it is not between book covers.  Yours is very much "An American Life" and I encourage all the New York publishers and Hollywood movie moguls in my readership to take heed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;smiles,&lt;br /&gt;rb</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/7419351780224102669/comments/default/8401894611287044388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/7419351780224102669/comments/default/8401894611287044388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/05/thoughts-on-blogging.html?showComment=1243862162270#c8401894611287044388' title=''/><author><name>Robert Brault</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17668997886299376904'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NgWNz7_4mW4/Sd-ihf8b62I/AAAAAAAAABs/34WU0joo5IM/S220/BobJuly122008.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/05/thoughts-on-blogging.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-7419351780224102669' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/posts/default/7419351780224102669' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-59690793'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-3458340165954212380</id><published>2009-06-01T05:01:21.859-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T05:01:21.859-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Both 1 and 2 pretty much describe my blog experien...</title><content type='html'>Both 1 and 2 pretty much describe my blog experience.

You realize that you can't be everything to everybody, and so it makes you want to become something significant to a few.  And it makes you think carefully about the alternative points of view you want to consider in your life. I was over to your blog this morning and realize that you are saying things (and capturing things in photos) that provide an important, complementary perspective for me.  I encourage you to continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;smiles,&lt;br /&gt;rb</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/7419351780224102669/comments/default/3655638883768859855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/7419351780224102669/comments/default/3655638883768859855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/05/thoughts-on-blogging.html?showComment=1243853552965#c3655638883768859855' title=''/><author><name>Robert Brault</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17668997886299376904'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NgWNz7_4mW4/Sd-ihf8b62I/AAAAAAAAABs/34WU0joo5IM/S220/BobJuly122008.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/05/thoughts-on-blogging.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-7419351780224102669' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/posts/default/7419351780224102669' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-59690793'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-6667092958366604184</id><published>2009-05-31T15:27:48.228-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-31T15:27:48.228-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi again,  I love this post you wrote!

I am glad I used your quote one day in my blog to have had the priveledge of reading your blog for it brightens my day tremendously!  I have decided not to write a book,  but I will post what I have written on my blog soon in short story formats.  I will keep my blog,  for I do enjoy it and it makes ME happy whether anybody reads it or not.  I will try to make it more private though because I truly do like my life simple with just Buddy and I.  Simple life is the best especially in the South:) Thanks for all of your encouragement,  humor and writings!&lt;br /&gt;Christina</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/7419351780224102669/comments/default/6667092958366604184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/7419351780224102669/comments/default/6667092958366604184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/05/thoughts-on-blogging.html?showComment=1243808868228#c6667092958366604184' title=''/><author><name>Christina and photography by Buddy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13003704506978447333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s_Q0xYAO_NM/Sd0YRnegXvI/AAAAAAAAAOI/ws9mLTlXMRs/S220/Christina+Powers+(Dilger).jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/05/thoughts-on-blogging.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-7419351780224102669' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/posts/default/7419351780224102669' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-386993273'/></entry></feed>
