My blogchild Matt infers in a recent post that a guy named Eric is his blogchild. If so, that makes Eric my second bloggrandchild. And I don't even know him!

Cue the Temptations: Papa was a rollin' stone...

Speaking of blogbirths, it was exactly six months ago today that this weblog began. It has been great fun to write, and I hope readers out there have been, and are, enjoying it as much as I am.

With six months of posts rolling around down in the archives, I am toying with the idea of starting up an old-fashioned index, just as an experiment. I know that some feel these are passe', what with Google and other mighty search engines available. But those of us who enjoy flipping through a book's index may beg to differ. Anyway, it might make for a nice half-birthday present to the blog, if I can figure out a way to do it elegantly.
