Hot Diggity


The first blog I ever read was by a (then) co-worker of G's a few years ago. He decided to quit to tour with his band Harry and the Potters and in his resignation e-mail indicated he had started a hot dog blog. I remembered it today and checked and--sure enough!--he's still going strong three+ years later. Somehow it just made my day.

You've gotta love a guy who quits a job at a biotech to pursue his dreams of sorcerer-themed rock who waxes poetic (and rates!) his hot dog culinary experiences. Proof that there's something for everyone in this newfangled dohicky we call the blogosphere.

I had no idea there was a genre of music called "wizard rock." And who wouldn't appreciate a good hot dog critic...too funny!

Wow. When I grow up I want to take off and be artistic and creative and eccentric. I could use a major loan to support me, though. Or an endowment - of money, silly. For now, I use "my room" to do little mini-escapes and forays into cyber-worlds. No one wants to see a 61 year old "rocker" unless it is the kind you sit in and, well - rock. Meanwhile, there is so much to dream and so little time. But dream, I do.

Three cheers for wizard rock and the newfangled dohicky we call the blogoshpere--with special attention to hot dog blogs.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. You are super fun to read.
