After my August post about my 600th post, I was very pleased to get an e-mail from one of my silent readers. I know most bloggers call them "lurkers" but that has an unfortunate ring to it in my mind. I like to call them "silent readers." I will refer to this person as TSR (the silent reader).~
TSR lives in a town that in my mind looks like the one above, although that picture is of Gothenburg Sweden and that is not where TSR lives. TSR told me a little bit about their life and it sounded very interesting and I think TSR would make a great blogger.

TSR is retired and had been thinking about volunteering for MOW and I certainly hope my last post did not put them off. Just because my branch is a little flaky, it does not mean they all are. Besides almost every organization goes through a bad spell at some point. The important thing is they do a great service and it is very rewarding work.

I thought it was really great to get that e-mail from TSR. It was sort of like getting a surprise present in the mail. If any more of my silent readers would like to drop me a line to say "Hi! This is who I am..." I would really love it. My e-mail is geewits(at)yahoo(dot)com. And to TSR: Thanks for dropping me a line and I hope you A) get hooked up with MOW and B) start a blog, which by the way, a great title for it is in the e-mail you sent me. Thanks for reading!

Cool, I'd like to get emails from my silent readers....
Wonderful. May you turn TSR into a great blogger too!
For your email address, I think you meant geewits(at)yahoo(dot)com
Gotta love those TSRs ;-)
Jazz,
~~It was really cool
LGS,
~~That would be nice.
Mr. Jazz,
~~Wow! That's two days in a row I had to be edited by my readers. Maybe I should actually try to proofread my stuff.
Ooh, if Gothenburg Sweden looks like that, LET'S GO! :-)
When I was growing up, I would have never imagined being able to travel around the world and talk with people from all over while sitting at my own desk. It still rather amazes me.
Carole,
~~I know! You know one of my favorite things about feedjit is that it shows the flag of the country of the person that visits my blog. I love looking at all the different flags. I recently had a visit from Estonia and that is one flag I did NOT recognize!
I get excited when I see on feedjit that someone unfamiliar, who I imagine is a lurker, has visited 'direct'. Seems kind of strange, but I love it.
What a great story! I hope TSR does start a blog and knows that they can remain anonymous if they want. It's a lot of fun...as you and I know.
PS - I'll e-mail you the sour cream sauce recipe (that goes with the pork tenderloins) in a bit.
VioletSky,
~~It's not strange. I have several regulars that having been doing that for a long time. I think it's neat.
Scarlet,
~~I would love to hear more about TSR's life! And thanks for the recipe.
