Last night I got to see Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight!

If blogs had been around in Twain's time, I think he easily would have made
money from it.

And I'm sure it would have suited him just fine since it have given him
"employment that didn't require any work".

I think that virtual books and all online publishing is seen as less
valuable so it will be difficult to make a living by writing in the future
if "real" books go away. Online articles pay less than printed ones and
they disappear into obscurity very quickly. Sure you can search and luck
upon one but it seems to have less value overall.

Were my entries interesting? Probably as much as a Ben Affleck movie.

I don't have the inclination to read blogs. Hell, I lose interest just
reading these long-winded emails. Maybe I have ADD or something.
