someone asked what is a blog.............. a "blog" is a weblog...a diary or journal in which the writer or observer writes thoughts on what they're thinking or, in the case of Evan's blog at the National, seeing. Early blogs were mostly lists of recommended links with some commentary. Since then, they’ve evolved to something different. Now anyone who fancies himself a writer, and even some people who don’t, has a blog on the Internet. A couple of years ago Evan wrote a blog from the National and all the stay-at-homes felt like they were there...now we are spoiled and want him to do it every year. Dania fills in for him when he has to be away from his laptop, and someone else, too...can't remember who. Blogs are great...........they are on the internet on almost any subject you can think of...and not too hard to set up. We love our National blog.............................thank you again, Evan, and thank you in advance for this year's!
