I wondered Friday who has been with me here at HBO the longest. Cis came to mind. Ditto for John Austin. Then, it hit me. The Bard of Sherman Avenue, of course. The Bard has been with me here, before the beginning. S/he transferred over here with me from print Huckleberries and has continued to contribute his priceless rhymes. I asked him/her this afternoon if s/he planned on attending Blogfest ‘07 undercover, as a blurker in the shadows. The Bard answered no. Family obligations, as come of the rest of the HBO crew. Also, s/he didn’t want to take the chance of being identified by someone who might put two and two together. But s/he did say one thing that caught my attention. The Bard gave me permission to reveal his/her identity after s/he leaves this mortal coil. Until then, the mystery continues, and I remained thankful that Huckleberries is the beneficiary of his fine poetic wit. And you are, too.
