I surely hope you can find a way to maintain MullenTown even with your new job. I really enjoy seeing you back in print, however. You are a great addition to CW.

BTW: I can’t wait to hear what comments you get about your hair from the CW character drawing that goes with your weekly piece.

I don’t often respond to my own blog, but I gotta give a big shoutout for your link to www.thestranger.com/blog

I totally agree. I love that Seattle altie, love its blog. Right now at CW we are seriously working on our website and its baby sister, the blog. Our own Bill Frost is taking a big role in the work. So stay tuned.

I know this comment is linked to a post where you are discussing your overwhelm with managing a blog in addition to your new job, but I am ACHING for something similar to The Stranger’s blog in Salt Lake. I would love to see you merge your cyberspace contributions and your new position with City Weekly and see more of the writers at CW do the same.

Good luck with CW, I think we’re all really excited to see you over there.

Glad to hear Holly, that you will keep it. Any form that works for you is fine by me and it seems the cast and crew of commentors are a lively bunch that are getting to be well acqainted as time goes on. Do other blogs feel this way? I tend to think not. If it only had spell check! I miss that feature of email.

Just a quick update on the homeless guy and dog at the local post office. As I dropped off tax payments today, he was back at his spot. Both dog and man looked okay and I was happy to give a dollar going in and another coming out of the PO. One for each. Made me feel less irritated about tax season. A small matter, relatively speaking, in contrast to life. And then there’s yesterday’s horrific shootings and even more killed most days in Iraq. Seems not enough outrage over THAT carnage.

I’m an “older” person who often feels out of place in the quickly evolving world of e-communication! E-mail has been good for me for many years, but Mullentown has been the only place where I’ve said anything else that seemed as if there were another human being reading it, besides e-mail.

I can relate to your feelings of being pulled in too many directions, starting up a new job, no time for exercise and on and on. And my life is no where near as busy as yours! And that’s not counting the recent, major trip to India! OMG, no wonder you’re questioning priorites and time realities. You are a great writer, journalist at your core and that gift requires expression, so your new job at CW is such a natural transition and they’re lucky to have finally nabbed you.

I agree with chardonnay and the others that this blog is special, though I would follow you to CW. It’s just that this blog feels more personal (an oxymoron when speaking of blogs I realize) and I would miss it.
