What I have are 10 or 12 friends and family who read the blog faithfully – and another 10 or 12 who drop in whenever life isn't swamping them. On a good day, a stranger accidentally drops in. A few strangers sent good wishes. And one former student sent me some very funny pneumonia haiku he'd written. Are you here for the Blogvention?
