Welcome to my friend George, who is just starting his blog. George, welcome to the blogging life. It's more fun and more engrossing than you think.

Confession: I found George's blog by looking at my referral logs. OK, so I'm happy with my writing again and looking at my referers. But I'm not obsessive about it. I'm only obsessive about my news page on Radio.
