In reply to Hi Deadman! Good to see you

I really didn't mean to disparage the newcomers in any way. I really love seeing it and I think the writing overall has been rock solid. I just think that my political ennui may just be at scary, ultra-high levels. In other words, it's my issue. I'm hoping my hackles aren't totally dormant and will resurface as my Macy begins to grow up and I once again have some free time to start thinking about what the future has in store for her. thanks for the comment and allowing me to clarify my thoughts a bit.

Wow! Very kind words. I'll

In reply to Hey, Deadman, nice to meet

Thanks Ramona for the kind words and the warning about the adult subject matter of your posts. can't wait to read them even if they are about icky politics. BTW, I love ellipses ... (and parentheses), too!

That was the name tag she had on when I rescued her from the death needle one day before I was to have major surgery. I liked her when I went to the pound to help a friend pick out a dog, but wasn't looking for one myself. Besides I had this very big operation coming up and didn't think I could manage. They called and told me her number was up, and I went and brought her home. I thought she might be offended if I changed her name, so I left it. Now I think it suits her to a t! (Sometimes I call her Skarlie and she doesn't seem to mind)

Deadman:

I'm a great admirer of your writing which reflects the quality of your thinking.

I took note of you when dag blog started, then went back to TPM immersion until Reader Blogs shut down. In making the switch to Dag I was sorry to see that you were no longer on the masthead.

Never mind. Enjoy your real life and contribute here as frequently as you can. When you do, you can count on a readership very interested in what you have to say.

Hi Deadman! Good to see you :)

I am kind of disheartend that you said this:

I never wanted dagblog to become an ideological soapbox fixated solely on politics.
Alas, aside from a few scattered posts, that's kind of what this blog has become, especially since the refugees from Talking Points Memo arrived on dagblog shores.

I don't know exactly what you envisioned, but I think everyone coming here from TPM really brightened up this place. It definitely has added to the variety.

Great to see you,

"It's like I left the neighborhood right before they legalized prostitution ..."
