You are the kindest. Thanks so much. Yes, you never know what's just around the bend. xo! Rusty! You're always the thoughtful one. I have heard blogging is dead as well. But I don't foresee people giving up the internet as a source of information. It will be interesting to see what happens if the access to on line info ever bears a cost. And as familiar as we are with social media, there are many people who still find it new and unfamiliar. I had to explain what a blog is to a horticulturalist (our age) I met at the Garden Writers event in Raleigh. I am also enjoying the sense of community I find on line. It's like walking down a street and stopping to chat with neighbors. And I find everyone crazy supportive. Hoping the community simply morphs, as it must, rather than disappearing. Reno!

I have been watching the way newspapers have been dealing with these shifts in how people get and share information because there are lessons for museums to learn. Since museums have been operating on untenable models for decades, the final nail may be the failure to evolve facing new audiences interacting in different ways. The importance of object is replaced in these new media models, and a higher value is placed on understanding, or "getting it," along with people you follow or friend. I suppose this isn't anything we aren't hearing from all corners these days. My own blogging is inconsequential to this, but I write for different reasons, mostly just to keep communicating and to make myself laugh. I am my own favorite writer. But all that silliness aside, rumblings are that blogging is over already. People tell me they're bored with Facebook. Myspace is already a Route 66 kind of place. Twitter can't be far behind. Whatever is next, the world will continue to need people who are good with the words and the pictures and the things and putting them together. So at least I think we'll always have something to do.

I, too, wonder how journalism will evolve or shakeout when the dust settles. Maybe online can be a blend of the traditional and the new. I like the esoteric and the mainstream and appreciate that I can get both as desired. I like facts and I like thoughts. Thank you for making me think deeper on this. I, for one, appreciate you throwing words out there for me to read. Keep it up. They are sticking here in Boulder, CO :-) As with many things in life, we may never know the places we, our words, our music, our deeds, fill in others lives.
