Q: Well?

A: Well What?

Q: Does this blog have a subject or theme or even any point?
A: Why?

Q: You told me to check back in a month or so. Surely you haven't forgotten already?
A: Yes, I guess I did.

Q: I've been reading it every day. It seems pretty self-indulgent, and I haven't been able to find either a unifying theme or a point of view or anything other than a collection of essays. And that's according many of them more dignity than they warrant.
A: Guilty. Hey! I'm newish at this blog stuff. I'm quite pleased that I've managed to crank out one per weekday for over a month now. I suppose I could stick to a theme, but I would have to feel pretty strongly about something to be that obsessed over it. Can we say that it has a "random theme" and that's the theme?

Q: No. And I'm asking the Q's here. Can't you at least stick to the format? You're so... unfocused!
A: Sorry, as always.

Q: How about some nice analysis of current events?
A: I already did a few comments about CNN.

Q: They weren't analysis, they were petulance. Isn't anything happening in the world worthy of comment?
A: I suppose so, but everybody blogs about current events. I don't know that I have anything to add.

Q: If you don't make this more topical, it will be hard getting anyone to read it.
A: I'm not so sure of that. I know I have at least one reader already, and no, I'm not counting myself or you! And besides, I'm also doing it for my own entertainment.

Q: Is that working?
A: I think so, although I'm not entirely sure.

Q: Alright, I'll let you go for another month, but your blicense may be in jeopardy. Be sure you get the form in on time. And think theme!
