I have reached a plateau of sorts.
I'm going to have to acknowledge the fact of my media career and shape it into something. I have been blogging for a number of reasons for the past several years. Originally, believe it or not, it was to overcome the deafening silence of my cell phone. My last big corporate job had me spending 1500 to 1800 minutes a month on the phone, and when they killed the division it was rather amazing that nobody returned my calls any longer. So I started building websites.
Now the volume is up and I'm getting lots of hits on the websites and blogging has been a very rewarding sideline for me. I'm still going to continue my Western Civ stuff as well as my theology and my Old School partisanship. But I think I need to be prepared for the possibility that I might become more successful in that than I might think. In other words, I may have to step up. This is what's on my mind this morning in light of my inclusion in the honor of the Normblog Profile.
Just like any newsmaker hopes to be interviewed by Charlie Rose, just as any author craves the attention of Brian Lamb's Booknotes (which is now defunct I think), every blogger will count their blessings when Norm Geras profiles them. I now join that august bunch of lucky bloggers and add one more facet of the most difficult kind.
I say difficult because as much as I bloviate, one of the most impossible tasks for me is to describe myself in any short order, nor am I a good self-promoter. Anyway, I even want to leave that subject alone. The Normblog profile is here. Enjoy.
Now I'm off to see 300.
