A Case of Mistaken Identity

For the last few months, I've been reading blogs via Mozilla Thunderbird's RSS feed. It's nice that I know when a blog I read has been updated without having to check several times a day, but I've noticed two things: I follow comments less, because to comment requires opening the link to the post in my browser, and since I'm not checking blogs several times a day I don't notice if other people are commenting; and sometimes I confuse whose blog I'm reading because the posts are all in the same place and aren't distinguished by the different templates that grace the actual blogs. I was confused the other day, for example, when Absent-minded Secretary, who lives in Pleasant Grove, Utah, had gone to California for a church meeting; then yesterday it threw me for a loop to learn that Mandi, who I had no idea was a poet, announced that she would be doing a reading at BYU; what really got me was this morning when Foxy J blogged about losing the power cord to her laptop, as she had not previously informed me that she had lost the cord, nor, for that matter, that we had a laptop. On the other hand, it's always amusing to hear from Th. about how things are going with his new husband, King Zippergut.
