Today I realized that any given blogger is much less removed from the A-list than they really think. It's true! I'm telling you!
Pick some people who you know are popular. Do they link to someone who's linked to you? Are you sure you have the right answer?
Someone told me the other day that they read an article that claimed the solution to the Curse Of The Bambino (of course it's supposed to be capitalized) is to trade Bill Mueller and Pedro to the Cubs. I laughed and said "Yeah right, that's crazy." Today I discovered the source of that column was Tony Pierce over at Fox Sports New England as he guest posted for Edward Cossette. Tony Pierce has linked to Cory in the past, who I just so happened to have graduated with and managed to get started blogging. How weird is it that meatspace people are reading the same things I read? Is it possible that they read my stuff and I just don't know it and they've yet to make the connection?
This little blogosphere of ours is pretty tightly tied together, a fact that although I know is true continues to amaze me. Here's to more revelations, friendships, and good blogging.
