I love his sense of humor, style & writing. He introduced me(via his blog)to Nick Cave which I am now a big admirer. Although I don't always posts comments, I am still faithfully reading my favorite blogs listed and he was one of them.

I so appreciated his nod to me- Blogging is wonderful but their is a club as it were that stays closely knit and contained. HOBAC ALWAYS posted for HIS READERS- not for other bloggers- which I realize is a real temptation.
