Comments, at last!

And then I didn't bother to look at my blog again for... two and a half months...? Yikes.

And so what if one of the original four comments was an ad? (since deleted...) The three of you who made real comments gave me some worthwhile things to think about, and some kind and welcome words. Thank you all!

And one other note on comments, before I move on. I have deleted a few besides the ad I got rid of this morning. They have all been ads. I won't leave ads on here, with one exception.

I got an ad comment to one of my October 2004 posts, which of course was made not long before Election Day, and I leave it as a memento and a reminder of how these things work. As I sat in my friend's living room in Michigan and typed on his computer, the TV was on and the debates were raging and one comment by our "esteemed" president managed to insinuate itself into my train of thought, and I responded to it in passing. So I got a paid comment from the Bush/Cheney re-election people, whose pleas never fell on more deaf ears. (Would the Kerry folks have done the same if I'd mentioned him? Probably...)

There is a verification feature which would prevent that kind of spam from happening, but I hesitate to turn it on. I don't want to make the legitimate commenters (commentators?) have to jump through hoops just to speak their mind. I know I would hate that. So unless the spam gets too thick, I won't be doing that here.

On other fronts, I have found myself more or less suddenly with a couple of other online outlets: a LiveJournal and a Second Life. So I'm not sure how often I'll get in here, but it's still going to be more often than it was last year, when I had even less going on. Why is this?

Do our dreams feed our dreams? Or do our activities feed our dreams, as our dreams feed our activities?
