Writing about the blog’s TENTH anniversary last month, it occurred to me that I have a lot of components already available for posts, things that interest me: birthdays (personal and popular culture), deaths, anniversaries, musical musings, movie reviews.
Then there is often something in the news, which inevitably segues into politics, racism/ sexism/ homophobia, and religion.
But what of those OTHER days? Those tend to be the more difficult posts to write. ABC Wednesday helps quite a bit in forcing a topic framework.
Ultimately, though, I appreciate the opportunity for YOU to provide direction for the content of the blog. To wit: Ask Roger Anything, in which you, er, ah, hmm…how shall I put it? You ASK ROGER ANYTHING. He is compelled to answer, basically honestly, with perhaps a soupcon of obfuscation.
Those ARA questions fill in the gaps in this panorama I call Ramblin’ with Roger. It helps to hold all the other elements of the blog together, like mortar binds “building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units together, fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, and sometimes add decorative colors or patterns in masonry walls.”
In other words, YOU are my mortar, a daunting responsibility, no doubt.
Please ask away.
