My neighbor Bill Quick gets a nice mention in William Safire's column about blogging. Way cool, Bill and Bill.

N.Z. Bear's Blogosphere Ecosystem classifies The Shark as a "Crawly Amphibian". A very respectable showing, considering that I haven't been doing this all that long. (Although strictly speaking a shark is a Chondrichthyes ). On the other side of the equation, I intend to add a few more worthy links to my blogroll, in order to prove that I Will Link for Beer (make mine an Anchor Steam, please). I will also link for Bear (N.Z.) and Bare (naked ladies)
My wife and I came to the realization that all we want to do for the rest of our lives is to read books. (I'm currently reading Michael Oren's Six Days of War and Erich Maria Remarque's Drei Kameraden. She's reading Anna Karenina). Unfortunately, this won't pay the bills.

Posted by: Jason Rubenstein on July 29, 2002 04:08 PMDear Stefan,
Please note I have a new email address - should you ever need it. I am with you re spending one's life reading books. I also love bookshops and have trouble leaving them - often led out by well-meaning friends in a somewhat disoriented, semi-comatose state. Unfortunately, life does not support this behaviour as much as I would like either. Thanks for the tip about the Six Day WAr book - I am heading out to buy it now (yes- from a bookshop- who knows what year I might emerge!) Oh, and - for what it's worth - your very cute little boy - are you sure he looks like you...? Methinks maybe more of the mummy than the daddy in this case but then what would I know? In any case you are clearly blessed!
Kind regards
Ronit
