Alternatively, it might just be easier to set up another blog (it's free) and have a link to it in this blog.A.

It would have been a little bit like John Malkovich quitting his acting career to take up puppetry, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the thing to do is learn enough html to place the different types of posts in their own "departments," so that readers may *elect* to read about travel and movies, or not.Dave O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614887143518461047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-1704101430801467752008-12-10T04:33:00.000-08:002008-12-10T04:33:00.000-08:00In answering your question, I'll digress a bit, bu...In answering your question, I'll digress a bit, but in the interests of explanation. I applied to a local paper to do an unpaid man-about-town column. The editor averred that I would have to be more than a "one-trick-pony". Unfortunately, I am only the aforementioned, and am interested in mostly politics, government and economics. You seem to have such an erudite grasp of the above that it seems a waste to diverge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-16129145209964640592008-12-09T17:53:00.000-08:002008-12-09T17:53:00.000-08:00Thanks so much for your encouraging feedback!

Whenever I go to ground for more than a day or two, I always worry that nobody will ever see these columns again, afterward.<BR/><BR/>Would you (or anyone else) care to comment about the inclusion of travel narrative or movie reviews? So far pretty-much deafening silence on the issue, pro or con.Dave O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614887143518461047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-13708518307610161052008-12-09T11:54:00.000-08:002008-12-09T11:54:00.000-08:00Welcome back, we've missed you.This is a very rele...Welcome back, we've missed you.<BR/>This is a very relevant column, one that many of us have struggled to elucidate, but haven't succeeded. <BR/><BR/>The R's had a couple of resonant lines: "Tax and Spend Liberals" and "Baby Killers". Hopefully, everyone has learned to reject those irrelevant lines.<BR/> <BR/>I am happy to report that even my mailman stopped today to chat about and gloat over the election of Obama. However, more disturbingly, another friend told me that at work they have a "football pool" on the day Obama is assassinated. Oh gosh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
