jeffwik beat me to posting about the
Kansas / geographic center of North America thing, but those just getting hip to the John Hodgman tip should check out
my latest OITNN post for lazy, excerpted goodness. There can be no doubt, as I said in a couple of LJ comments, that Hodgman is One Of Our Tribe Made Good.*
mgrasso caught me off guard today with an three-line email - not a post, an actual email! - asking me how I've been doing lately. The novelty of it has flummoxed me and I will need a few days to answer properly, but thanks for asking, Mike.
*I neglected to excerpt Hodgman p. 78: "Great Rivalries in Dungeons & Dragons".
