He was kind enough to write me and give me his email address etc. He and I will stay in touch and he may return to the site. He has his reasons but mostly he said it was because of you. I'm kidding of course, but he wrote a very thoughtful message explaining his thinking. I hope he returns, I wouldn't be surprised if he does.
He has twins, right? How totally time consuming is that? I'd take a leave from hubski too, to get my life in order -- but you would cry - so I can't. Sadly, hubski has led me to drink. Instead of thinking on the thoughtful web, I end up drinking. Kidding of course -- what will I do with my three unopened bottles of La Fin du Monde?
Drinking leads to thinking, it's just a middle-man really. I would advise drinking them at the most appropriate moments, that part is up to you.
Sounds like the voice of experience. Luckily you are wiser now. btw, interesting hearing about your poetry last night at the drinking party. There's two words that often go together: poetry and drink (Dylan Thomas comes to mind). The one you mentioned, please send it by pm or email if you want to share/discuss.
It is in your messages, and I am only as wise as my wallet is waifish. ;) I've been on a powerfully building writing/poetry/submission/DO DO DO kick for the last two weeks or more and it's really starting to show in my Hubski conversations, haha. But there are significantly worse things to be obsessed with. I am not a good drunk writer, however. Maybe I miss the sweet spot in the middle when my handwriting's still legible, I don't know. I'm a great drunk Tweeter. Notable moments include: "If I were apple I would name all my operating systems after bread" and "I just want someone I want delete my tweets with the next morning."
Someday we will have La Fin Du Monde in Toronto but don't save them, drink them and enjoy them!
