Today, I think I'll take a leaf out of Kevin Stilley's book, so to speak, and mention a few bloggers I've discovered during 2006 who have become regular readers. First up is Kevin himself, of course. He's become one of my most loyal readers, here and at Cricket Frog. Mutual linkage is good--thanks, Kevin!
Next is Peaches at The Peach Pit. Funny woman--I like the way she thinks! Anyone who urges people to get off their duffs and go vote is okay with me.
Then there's the DesMoines360 and Nancy Dancehall duet. I stumbled across these ladies by clicking on links from other sites I read fairly regularly. We all sort of link to a number of the same people. I should mention Barb the Evil Genius here as well, because she became a reader of mine around the same time, and links to several people I do. Gotta love a name like that!
I also rediscovered a couple of people I used to link to at Sock Monkey before I got orchid forum trolls from five years ago stalking me there back in January. I didn't shut down Sock Monkey (it was my first blogspot blog), but I let it lie fallow until they went away a few months ago.
St. Disgruntled is a copywriter in suburban Detroit with an attitude the size of Alaska. Having worked in advertising myself for almost two decades before switching to an allied field six years ago, I know exactly where she's coming from with her, er, colorful rants. I worked in media, not creative, but her coworkers are everywhere in the industry. I know them, even though I've never met them.
And just this morning, I finally rediscovered Evan Maloney at Brain Terminal. I used to link to him on Sock Monkey way back when. Evan's a fellow Bucknellian who also graduated with a business degree. Before I let Sock Monkey hibernate, he and I actually corresponded a little, although I've never met him . . . it started when I emailed him to ask if he'd mind if I linked to him, and mentioned that I too had graduated from his alma mater ten years before he did. I'm afraid I'm dating myself, but so what? I found a link to his site on Townhall.com, bookmarked it, spread around the links to it here and elsewhere, including Bullfrog, then grabbed an RSS feed in my Sage feedreader add-on. Nice guy, and politically, he thinks like I do. Considering when he graduated, he was probably a bigger rarity on campus than I was in my day when professors didn't feel obliged to force-feed their students left-wing dreck.
That's about it for my mutual admiration society spiel of the day.

Thanks for the kind words. And, Merry Christmas!
Same to you, Kevin. I'm glad to have you as a reader.
Thanks for the hat tip, and I've enjoyed reading your blog as well. I need to check out your Townhall blog more often, and maybe even comment. Merry Christmas.
