(One of Susan Forbes Hansen beautiful winter landscapes.)My friend Susan Forbes Hansen, who often forwards posts that end up here, was name-checked by Colin McEnroe in his column Sunday (yes, I know it's Wednesday).
McEnroe claims to get 11 emails a day from her. I think that's a slight exaggeration, but Susan seems to be connected, as McEnroe indicates, to networks that are determined to make you feel angry, inadequate, guilty and occasionally vindicated. I'm a bit envious that McEnroe receives a few more emails from Susan each day than me.
But mostly I get upset when SF Hansen finds interesting web stories before I do.
I welcome the slightly less than 11 emails I get from Susan each day, if only to be able to answer "read it already."
BTW, I'm plenty interested in the fact that I get the Jack Bauer reference though I've never seen a single minute of a single of 24 or Iron Chef, for that matter. I just know the clock is an important element on each.

Actually, Ed, I think you bear some physical resemblance to Jack Bauer, especially in the scratchy photo which provides an echo image of Jack's whisper-scratchy voice. Eschewing popular culture like 24 or Iron Chef is not a great virtue. However, there are only 24 hours in a day, and assuming that you "work eight hours and sleep eight hours that leaves eight hours for play." This is the old-fashioned recipe for keeping the blues on the run. How exactly this translates into the modern blues-avoiding blogger's world would be an interesting story. No time for Tee Vee, is my guess.
