Summer 2004 is probably when I started reading Wil's, back when I embarrassingly thought, "I can do that! I'll post some stories and someone will offer me a book deal." Um, yeah, not so much without the pre-existing fame. Go figure.<br /><br />And it may not help, but I think of you as being *my* age. I'm willing to let you have it your way though. ;)<br /><br />One of my dearest friends just turned 40 today and that seems all kinds of not possible. He has loads of shenanigans ahead of him though that he's actually pulling off, so I have hope.<br /><br />Tomorrow morning over breakfast sounds like a plan. Good luck!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-17748144253087316192012-02-03T17:33:47.336-05:002012-02-03T17:33:47.336-05:00In 2003 I don't think I'd even heard the w...In 2003 I don't think I'd even heard the word blog. I remember when I did, I didn't know what it meant and also found it a horrible unaesthetic syllable, like a cudgel smiting my ears. Whatever it was, I hoped it didn't catch on. Go figure.<br /><br />If it helps I've always thought of you as being my age and I have a hard time conceiving of myself as being older than 30, or that any of my friends are now achieving such advanced ages, considering the number of shenanigans I feel we still have in us. As for the book: not yet, but my hope is tomorrow morning over breakfast.Iron Fisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07068833695836805013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-51193827905164908382012-02-02T19:54:55.719-05:002012-02-02T19:54:55.719-05:00I'm going to ignore the fact that you're 4...I'm going to ignore the fact that you're 4 years younger than me for the moment and say Ohio sounds promising. Let me know.<br /><br />Sounds like quite a year for you. Did you finish reading/doing the exercises for Your Best Year Yet?

I hope to god we can pull the financial together to make that actually happen by then since I have declared this to be Get Your Life Together Because Jesus Christ You're 34 Years Old Now And Really Need To Get This Shit Figured Out Year for me. So, um. Yeah. I'll give you a heads up, is what I'm saying.Iron Fisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07068833695836805013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-37097465504939568732012-02-02T14:23:27.705-05:002012-02-02T14:23:27.705-05:00I'm kind of bummed I didn't know about tho...I'm kind of bummed I didn't know about those walls when I was living in SF. The bigger bummer is that I wasn't blogging back then (2003-4), and I don't think you were yet either. I was just getting into reading Wil Wheaton's blog.<br /><br />Hopefully our paths will cross sooner than later. That is a conversation I'd like to have. Bonus points to you for remembering I don't drink coffee. If you have a good juice/smoothie bar, you can get extra credit. :)<br /><br />Let me know if you're ever eastbound with some spare time and I'll do likewise if I'm westbound. Might make travel logistics more feasible.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-37590596880301768452012-02-01T22:45:03.221-05:002012-02-01T22:45:03.221-05:00Do you know there are miles and miles of old stone...Do you know there are miles and miles of old stone walls across the east Bay Area? <a href="http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf038/sf038p01.htm" rel="nofollow">True story</a>. When are you and I going to sit down and have a cup of coffee and talk about ancient civilizations? (Maybe not coffee, I just remembered you don't drink it, but we do have some good tea houses around here.)Iron Fisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07068833695836805013noreply@blogger.com
