The big news at tonight's dinner was that Jay referenced my blog in his homework assignment in English. He had to write a persuasive argument on the topic "Should children under age 12 be allowed to play contact sports?" Jay took the position (surprise, surprise) that of course they should. To support his argument, he used the Ed Rendell quote about our country becoming a nation of wusses and cited my entry on mikes-shed.blogspot.com. He only knew about the quote because he read it right here. How awesome is that? I wonder if his teacher will check his sources?
To make things even better, I logged on to write this post and saw I actually have a follower. Thanks, Julie. If you're not reading her blog already, check it out at http://speakingofblog.blogspot.com/. It's what I hope this can be when I finally get this blogging thing all figured out.
