I also offer today one of the beautiful images by Pamela Callahan, a painter I met at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, who has given permission to share these paintings with you, for which I am so grateful! You can see more at WMG or her website with her husband, Otter Creek Arts.
OK, the State of the Blog Address, a list of the blog entries that have received the most hits! I have watched in amazement and laughter as any blog entry with sex or sports in the title advanced high in the stats! And even more amazement as origami overtook them all. (I think the Christmas shopping season may also be origami season.)
This would be a top ten list, but the monthly stats tell a slightly different story than the all time stats, so I include a few extras:
My Brain is Origami (my brain is origami)
Intercity Volleyball (spiked--heh heh--when we were all looking for scores and standings at state tournament time, but so not about volleyball I fear for the sanity of those who clicked it by mistake)
Of Boobies and Baseball (grand slam in summer, overtaken in fall by volleyball)
Book Burning & Book Banning
Loving Pillsbury (probably involves recipe searches more than architecture)
A Walk in the Cemetery
More Party Girls (uh huh, you know why this is a top hit)
Redneck Yoga (part 2 of an interview with Tim Hunt)
Evening Primrose (just out on DVD, Stephen Sondheim!)
Fault Lines & Risk Taking (stats might be about earthquakes, but it was also added to ISU media site, as part 1 of interview with Tim Hunt)
Lucky Ducks (nobody eats rubber ducks for Thanksgiving)
Sexy Book of Sexy Sex (uh huh, and she knew when she titled her book that it might be popular)
What Would Epictetus Do? (ancient Stoic philosopher comes into his own)
Train Window (partly written "on the road")
Thank you for reading my blog, and feel free to reinforce or upset the statistics by clicking away at anything you like, or like better!
the book burning and book burning post caught my attention. in north dakota, where i live and where i mostly grew up, people burned Slaughterhouse Five. it took place in drake, nd when i was a kid. yikes.
ReplyDeleteI like that image a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go back and check those blogposts I missed.
I am very curious what will happen when you finish the cycle of one full year. Do you know yet?
Book burning saddens and scares me.
ReplyDeleteSeana, I will keep blogging for sure and will keep musing about what we read. Might do a spurt on poetry books, interviews with poets, which I am just interspersing now. Might return to general topics on how we think, how reading ties into that, brain research, education, etc. Books will stay part of it, I'm sure!
Re: origami. Googled a bit and discovered there is another Kathleen Kirk out there who gives origami workshops. Her brain is probably quite ordered.
