Thing #2
The Library 2.0 future makes me feel very, very tired.
I don't want to be an early-adopter, but I don't suppose I'm running much risk of that anyway.

Thing #1 on-a-stick
I am now in possession of a blog. Why does this development not fill me with more excitement and anticipation? Can it be that I can't think of anything to say? Perish the thought! I've been keeping diaries/journals/epistolary relationships since I was seven years old.
I AM, however, afflicted with stage fright of a sort. My antique sensibilities were developed over half a century ago, back at a time when public embarrassment and humiliation (as opposed to the dubious benefits of modern celebrity) were still a very real possibility. Obsolescent Twentieth Century model that I am, I can't seem to free myself from the limitations of an overactive sense of privacy.
Oh well, now that I'm breathing the free, anonymous blogger air, perhaps all this will change.
