It&#8217;s been said (accurately) that a blog is just a diary, really. When I was fed-up earlier in the week, I was looking through some old blogs from the Hotsos Symposium period and it brought back some happy memories. One of the comments was from Scott Schwab, but I didn&#8217;t notice that <a href=\"http:\/\/s-schwab.blogspot.com\/\">he has a blog, too<\/a>.

Interesting. I thought there might have been some comments on that blog by now, but maybe nobody&#8217;s noticed it?<\/p>\n<p>The good thing about a blog like this is it requires very little post-viral effort (actually, I&#8217;m not so sure about the &#8216;post&#8217; bit &#8211; I&#8217;m still having mid-day naps and waking up feeling weak).
