2016 State of the Blog Address

Sometime during the annual Huckleberries Online Blogfests, I give a State of the Blog address. No great orator am I. I simply tell the faithful how things are going — and toast those who have left us. Last year, I introduced Tom Wobker, The Bard of Sherman Avenue, to Blogfest attendees. Tom is sitting three rows back on the left in this photo, with his wife, Sharon. This year, we will toast his departure. We will also toast Joan Harman who left us last fall. And Patrick Jacobs. Of course. And I’ll introduce Tod Marshall, Washington poet laureate, to the throng. Who will bring dozens of Tom’s poetry books, how off the presses, for sale for the first time. We’re getting down to a last call for Blogfest 2017. If you miss this one, you may not get a chance to attend another one. Be there or be square.
