A Visit From Arcturus

It would be cool if I lived in some heavily populated area where bloggers tend to congregate. But I don't. I live in the middle of nowhere. So it was a pleasure this morning to have a visit from Jay Manifold of A Voyage To Arcturus. Of course, most people who meet me tend to run away. Fortunately, I trapped Jay on this dock so he was forced to listen to me:

Nowhere to run, nowhere to escape to except into the cold waters.

Seriously, while he knew what I looked like from my photo on the "old Alphecca" I had no idea what he looked like. He was nothing like I had imagined... He's very erudite, witty, layed-back, and not at all "geeky." Actually, he's much like his excellent blog, just an enjoyable, intelligent fellow. The weather had been predicted to be lousy but fortunately, it turned out to be really nice, partly sunny and warm.

We spent a very pleasurable 3 1/2 hours on the shore of Lake Morey talking about everything from blogging (natch!) to politics and much more. Thank you, Jay, for being the first and only visitor to AlpheccaLand... I truly enjoyed your visit and I hope I meet you again. I would also welcome visits from others of you -- readers and bloggers -- and hey, there are worse places you could hang-out than in Vermont...

Darn! we could have been first. Guess we'll just have to be second and consider outselves in fine company.

Hey, one Jay is just as good as another. ;)

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
