Absent friends

We haven't seen a few people lately. I just guess that life is keeping them busy. Plus I have not been posting a lot because I have been very busy and kind of tired lately. I just hope that all is well and that everyone is enjoying life.

Drop us a comment guys so we know you are ok.

All is well chez Haz. Riding and summer activities have kept me off the computer recently.

Thanks.

Good to know.

But we haven't heard from Cody Jarret, Palladian and several others who have not been around.

Hope all is well.

I know, it gets boring hearing from the old reliables.

What I appreciated most about the old reliables now tagged here as missing friends, was their playfulness and humor, seasoned with enough intelligence and honesty to keep things real.

chickelit said...

Troop, you're not suggesting that the place is palling afart without them are you?

chickelit said...

Whatever happened to yashu?

MamaM said...

Found the word "specious" in use at Althouse today, and after refreshing my memory with regard to its meaning, decided specious behavior deserved a place next to disingenuous on the list of types of behavior that cause places and blogs to pall afart.

I miss yashu too, chickelit, along with the madawaskan that was over at Lem's for a while. Peppy, perceptive, honest and outspoken is a fun combination.

MamaM said...

I'll amend that, as yashu was often more deep than peppy, it was the madawaskan that brought that energy.

I wish they still commented at Lem's, either one would make an interesting blog contributor.

@ chickelit and Lem

What about that old coot William? Have you tapped him for a column or two. He comes at things from an different angle too!

I don't supposed anyone could talk ricpic into adding more than a comment, but there's no doubt he could stand in the painting and poetry gap left by deborah's leave taking and serve as the temporary counter to her chipperness.

I was thinking that too about cody and paladin. I hope they are okay.

palladian, not paladin (he is off netflix)

Thinking about others, holding them momentarily in heart and mind, asking for Goodness, Light and Love to be present with them wherever they are, this I can do. It serves as a form of prayer these days, for absent friends and for the one who has "been very busy and kind of tired" lately".

All jokes about Betty's dirty ways aside, along with the NSFW pictures and mangled Bukowski, what matters most is a respectful working relationship between the blog owner and the people who support the endeavor. That's the heart of a blog; all else is window dressing.
