Jun. 29th, 2007 12:36 pmLindsay Beyerstein's (Majikthise) father died a few days back. I didn't know him, but in the strange way the web makes so many of us feel close to so many others, I was saddened.
We all die too young, and he was young. Younger than my father. A while back I was, as is my wont, vocal in a conversation at her place. She sent me a note, thanking me for chiming in. I was flattered, and pleased, because it was one of those conversations which went overboard (feel free to take a guess on the topic; there might be a prize).
She asked if there was anything I wanted her to point people to, as she was adding me to her blogroll. When I mentioned Am I a "L"iberal" she promptly pointed people to it.
She also, from time to time, made it plain she was actually reading this little corner of the web, not just listing it on the sidebar.
So, when she said she was going to be AFK for a while, and asking for contributions, I offered her some pictures; because she and I have also talked about cameras/photos, and it seemed the least I could do.
She accepted them, by way of offering me posting rights, because she didn't want to mistreat my, "art."
So, for those of you who want to see a picture of mine, which hasn't been, and won't be, posted here, it's over there.
When I post something over there, I'll put a link up here.
