Elaine made the Chicago Tribune a day or two back. I suppose this is old news in cyber time but this is Notes from a Life in Progress not News From a Life in Progress. Sporadic, erratic dispatches from the far fields and, sometimes, uncomfortably close places my mind and heart wander as this entity known as ME makes his way from day to day.

Current events too, sure, from time to time. Love poems. . .

But I digress. Elaine , as I say, was featured in a Chicago Tribune article about female bloggers (free registration required for the article!).

I was honered that Elaine named me in the same breath, or Times New Roman font, as Tom Shugart and Mike Golby as one of her favorite male bloggers. Don't look for our names in the article. We didn't make the final cut.

As for female bloggers? Personally, I look forward to the day we have human bloggers, undivided.

Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom."
They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."

- The Gospel of Thomas, verse 22 -

In the mean time I say speak up sisters and, in so doing, help us to enter the kingdom of which Jesus speaks.
