Forgetful Me

Posted By on March 12, 2004 at 1:47 pm

I occasionally have a tough time remembering birthdays, appointments, anniversaries, and the like. Without a PDA, I’d be toast.
Advance notice to any hypothetical future wife: I will forget an anniversary or two. I don’t mean to — it just happens. Apologies in advance.
Tuesday was my 1st blogiversary, and I never even thought about it.
Not that I’ve made any impact worth celebrating or anything… though this post still ranks #1 on Google for the expression “Thomas Friedman idiot.”
Still… if I were my own wife, I’d hit me over the head with a frying pan.
3/13 UPDATE: No need for the frying pan. The gout bit me last night.

  1. Belated happy blogiversary, Russ. Always glad I stopped by.
    Sorry about the gout. Ouch.

  2. Scott says:

    Congrats, Russ! Keep up the good work.

  3. MarcV says:

    Happy blogiversary!
    And sad for the gout. I hope it’s just temporary for you.

  4. Russ says:

    Fortunately, due to medication leftovers, the gout is history.
    I suppose it would behoove me to have a supply on hand for future emergencies.

  5. Happy Blogiversary, Matt and Russ!

    LC & IB Matt Margolis is celebrating his first blogiversary, and so is LC & IB Russ. Our Imperial Congratulations….

    And a deep-fried Ewok for you, too, as the Emperor ordered. Congrats!

    I linked to the subsequent partial-retraction post of yours (to that Friedman entry) in my blog entry on the pro-war Left, and then did a trackback ping to that entry. From that trackback, I think that you went to my blog, perhaps for the first time (I think I saw on my hit counter a referrer from a trackback to your blog).
    I later commented at this site, and you responded. Anyway, happy [belated] Blogiversary to you. It is now one week later on Tuesday the 16th, which is also election day here in Illinois. I know that you went to school in nothern Illinois; are you still in this state? (Sorry if you’ve already answered this question…). If so, are you voting in today’s primary? The Senate race is interesting; there are several good Republican candidates. I would recommend either Steve Rauschenberger or Jonathan Wright. I was backing John Cox last year for this race, but he withdrew.
    The polls close in about two hours, at least here in Springfield (it’s probably the same throughout Illinois). I wish I had done some blog entries about today’s election.
    Once again, Happy Blogiversary, and keep up the good work!
