Ode to Kate

Well, this isn't really going to be an Ode. Sorry to disappoint so early in the Blogger Game...

Like many humans in the free world, I too, am a Facebook-er. Over the past month or so I'd been paying extra attention to an old high school acquaintance, we'll call her "Kate," since that's her name. Witty, politically aware and often a temptress with juicy looking recipes, I've found myself drawn to my fellow alumni grad in the cyber world. Occasionally we'd pass one another by at a mutually respected coffee shop or the local grocery store. We'd never made much effort to communicate in the real-life community, but I found once I "liked" her stuff on Facebook, she too "liked" mine and thus, a relationship that had faded over the past fifteen years from the academic days, had now grown to something stronger via the internet-super-highway. Just today I saw "Kate" at said coffee shop, and discussed her essays and blogs (bloggs?-how many g's in that word?). I raced home and did a little research about this blogging business. Of course I later checked my Facebook page and saw that indeed, "Kate" had posted a link to her blog. Quickly I commented on her blog link, admitting that I was interested in starting a blog of my own. My heart quickened, my eyes widened and a smile emerged on my face as I read her response, "I would LOVE to read your blog. Do it!" So, Facebook friend and old classmate chum who we'll call "Kate," thank you for being my blogspiration. Nameste!
