Dear Blowhards --

Ilkka at Sixteen Volts has a wonderfully droll (and fearless) way of asking difficult questions. Dirk Thruster admires machines, skewers politics, and assaults pretentions with a lot of shrewd brainpower and rowdy good humor. Are there 2Blowhards visitors who haven't discovered Peter's Iron Rails and Iron Weights? Ostensibly a diary of Peter's commutes and workouts, it's also a vehicle for his (often funny and always dry) observations and musings. There's much Beckettian entertainment to be had from following Peter's adventures in the train and at the gym. Citron, a former clergyman, has a generous, dignified, and impish eye that he runs over politics, people, and retirement life in Arizona. I especially loved his recent posting about how modern entertainment has become so loud.

Best,

Michael

Michael! Thanks for the gracious comment! I got the most hits in my month's go at blogging. It is one of the most creative gigs in years.

Thanks for the plug, it's most appreciated. I'll point out that I never thought of my LIRR experiences as Bekettian, although that may be due to my relative unfamiliarity with his works; actually, a better cultural reference for the LIRR would be The Night of the Living Dead.

Aww, you guys. I'm blushing now.

Thanks for the link and recommendation. It's fun to occasionally see that my writing is not in vain but somebody out there enjoys it.
