I'm pleased to welcome Kass, who's left a few comments here in the past. I know a lot of you already read her blog, but, in the off-chance you haven't, it's called The K Is No Longer Silent.

I once tried to silent the Ks in my own name, but decided I didn't really like being called Ir.

(Word of warning, Kass. The above is what occasionally passes for humor on this blog.)

I'd like to welcome Numinosity, whose blog can be found to the left. My late mother, who loved scouring flea markets, antique shops, and the like, would have envied Numinosity's collection of artifacts. Check it out, folks.

I'd also like to thank LimesNow. In the past few months, I've picked up five followers through her blog. She's beaten Erin O'Brien's record.

I'd like to welcome Gabriela Abalo, whose blog is called Embracing Who We Are .

Gabriela, I hope you'll embrace, or at least not be too repulsed by, my unique blend of Political Commentary, Social Criticism, Cultural Observations, Heartfelt Advice, Flights of Fancy, Emotional Catharsis, Comic Art (someday maybe; the library computer I use doesn't have a scanner), Dumb Jokes, Tortured Syntax, and a Lot of Bitching About Things I Have Absolutely No Control Over.

Meanwhile, I direct anyone reading this to the lower left-hand corner. You'll notice it says I have 13 followers. Look at those followers carefully.

Blogger is owned by Google. Don't any of those MIT graduates who work in Silicon Valley know how to count?

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this blogger from welcoming El Postino on his swift completion of his appointed rounds.

I'd like to welcome Standing On My Head (I know you take the e e cummings non-capitalization route, but I'm afraid anybody logging onto this blog for the very first time won't know what the heck I'm talking about.) She's left plenty of comments in the past, for which I'm grateful.

I have no plans to stand on my own head. The world seems upside down enough as it is.

I'd like to welcome Workforced, who has a blog of the same name. His most recent post, an amusing take on advertising, can be found in the List of Blogs.

You know where the List of Blogs is, don't you? It's just under the ad box.

He's left comments in the past, which I appreciate, and he's now bicycled into the lower left hand corner, which I further appreciate. Welcome photographer extraordinaire Once Known as Badger.

I'd like to welcome Elisabeth from Down Under. As I've done in the past, and will continue to do until I run out of room, I've added her blog Sixth in Line to the blog roll.

You may wonder why I always do that. Well, my feeling is that if someone finds what I have to say interesting, then I'll find what they have to say interesting as well. So far, that has been the case. And it certainly has added variety to my blog roll. For instance, I've got both the atheistic Alphaville, and an italics-speaking supreme being's Small Talk With God.

Let's see some focus group come up with that!

Hill Country Gal is back. Good way to start the new year.

I'd like to welcome Pappy of Pappy's Golden Age Comics.

Fans of comic art (or non-fans who need to be converted) should check out his fine site on my "List of Blogs", along with Hairy Green Eyeball II and Stripper's Guide.

And, in case you comic fans out there are curious, in spite of my last name and the fact that my pipe dream, er, profile, reads "writer/cartoonist", I am no relation to the popular cartoonist Joe Jusko.

However, if he wants to leave me something in his will anyway, I won't complain.

I'd like to welcome Dreamfarm Girl to Shadow of a Doubt. I promise it won't be a nightmare.

Hmm..If I keep on using lines like that, I'm not going to be able to keep that promise, huh?

Started out the week with five followers, lost one (Hill deactivated her follower thingie; fortunately, she still reads SOAD, as indicated by her appearance in a recent comments section), was down to four (duh), and then, just a couple of minutes ago, gained another follower, so I'm back up to five (duh again.)

According to his blog, Cosmic Navel Lint hails from the land of the Fab Four, Peter Sellers, and Monty Python. Welcome aboard, Cosmic (which reminds me, it's also the land of Red Dwarf.)

Following Update (Again!)

Welcome to the blog, Hill. Hope you like the altitude.

Wow, another follower! Welcome, Lemmy Caution. You've reached safety.

Clicked on my blog, and saw I had another follower, for a grand total of three. Welcome to Shadow of a Doubt, LimesNow. I promise it won't be a lemon.
