Currently, I am writing for my other blog,
MWCWC: The weblog of the Marian Wright Computer Writing Center. Maybe I will cross-post some of the content here.
I also have a new Twitter micro-blog at http://twitter.com/jimanderson. Not sure how long I will keep that one up, but it is fun.
Finally, I have helped my wife, Anita, set up her own professional blog (she’s a social worker) and will be a guest commentator there, writing under the pen name of Mitch I. Gann. Her blog is called “On Aging Today.”
Maybe Mitch will return with his own humor oriented blog.
I also write for my union local’s blog and website: www.leounion.org.

They seemed to think it was all a little strange. That surprised me, given that we were in Ann Arbor. You would think they would be more enlightened.
Someone said, “You know, the world really doesn’t need anymore novels.”
That’s true enough, but the world does not need even the novels it has. It doesn’t need statues or paintings, either. Indeed, depending on how you define “world,” it doesn’t even need us.
It has never been a question of what the world needed.
