Writing a blog is a bit like looking at a nice picture of yourself. You look at it a few times, put it away, look at it again, wonder if a stranger would find it attractive and the joke is there is only you to see it so in a sense a blog is writing a letter to yourself. Sounds like vanity but is it? Or is it an act of purest companionship? After all who else knows you better and likes you to boot.  I get by knowing I like me.
