Happy Sunday, Modern Philosophers!
Please excuse the lack of a new post by now, but I received some wonderful news at The House on the Hill earlier today, and that’s kept me rather distracted…
One of my posts (the one about Zeus and the Greek God of Social Media) has been Freshly Pressed! It happened at about 11:00am Modern Philosopher Time, and since then, I have been happily replying to comments from all the new readers that this honor has brought to my blog.
I just didn’t want my regular followers to feel like I was ignoring them today. I wouldn’t have written as much as I have at this point if it weren’t for your constant encouragement, positive feedback, and acceptance of the way life is here in Maine.
I am humbled, I am thrilled, I am excited, and I just hope all the new folks that show up at the blog realize that some pretty silly stuff happens around here and I always seem to get caught in the middle of it. It’s not all about Greek Gods here, but rather about how lucky I am to live in a place as weird and unique as Maine.
Welcome all new friends! Thank you to those of you who have been around before the big news. I promise to continue to report on life around me and introduce you to the creatures that come and go from my life on a regular basis.
Right now, I’m going to put on a comfy toga and just conjure up some Deep Thoughts on what it means to be so lucky. Thank you all for enjoying the silly stories that come out of my misshapen head…
Congrats on the Freshly Pressed status!
Thank you! I always like to be able to put on my formal toga and celebrate.
Congratulations. You deserve the attention from being Freshly Pressed! Keep ‘em coming.

It’s an honour to be on the roll before this things goes Titanic!
Titanic? Are you saying my blog is going to sink and we’re all going to die?
Well, Leonard di C had to go and they made a big budget movie out of it. I think that’s more my direction.
Congratulations! It was only a matter of time.

Oh stop being so silly. Little people, like Seamus the Leprechaun, are the heart and soul of this blog!
I’m just going to savor the delicious irony of you, of all people, telling me to stop being silly. As an honorary little person (if I stretch, I might hit 5’2″), we appreciate your appreciation!
I’m all about the irony. I think I really got ironic in the post I just wrote. I do amuse myself at times..
woohoo! Congrats!
