Dear friends,
Off I go to spend a Saturday in Bloomingdale’s, stocking up on underwear and socks for the month ahead, but if I’m going to get in and out of Bloomie’s without killing anybody, I’ll need to do two things: 1. Drink a really, really, really strong coffee, which I am doing now, thanks to the beauteous Lloyd, who makes coffee so strong that it makes me bark like a dog. 2. Fulfill my obligations to the Friday audblog. Now it can be told: this week’s post was The Baltimore Zoo, written by the charming and talented Molly Goatwax. I couldn’t stop smiling the first time I read this, and it still makes me smile on the rereading of it.
Heaping platters of praise must go to Tvindy for hatching the Friday audblog. I won’t be able to play along for a while, southward-bound and phoneless as I will be as of Tuesday, but I recommend, with enthusiasm, that you do. Just listen…
Edit: Apparently there’s something still a bit hinky with TypePad, because the trackbacks aren’t showing up. Maybe they’re just slow to show. If you end up with two pings from me, that’s why. Oy vey iz mir. (Not to be confused with Mir, of course.)
