"…an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge…โ€ R.B. Sheridan The Rivals, 1775

This is my thousandth post. What should it be about? Some horse-racing selections, something stolen from the newspapers, a jeremiad against the state of the modern world, in particular  the press, radio and television’s obsession with the trivial,  a diatribe against war-mongers, the current government and capitalism in general,  a description of some agreeable food and drink, a philippic against house-buyers, estate agents and solicitors, more about the neglected virtues of Patrick Hamilton, an account of an unusual dream I had last night, the rainbow I saw on Seaford Bay while running early this morning…?
It might be time to reinvent this blog as something completely different. For example, sex-blogging seems to guarantee of a lot of hits. I’d have to make a lot of it up, but I’m sure so do some of the more established names in the field. The closest I have ever been to an orgy is the disco at certain library conferences, but I have an imagination. Or I could write a fashion blog, especially when my suits from Old Town arrive. On to the next 1000 posts, and thank you for reading so far.

  1. Tom,
    Just a quick note to say I enjoy your posts quite a lot. Working in a special collections/archives academic library in faraway rural Kentucky, reading your posts opens the wide-world of librarianship and what librarians and other humans (I’m a runner too) are thinking, blogging and posting about librarianship, life and racing.
    Best to you and looking forward to the next 1000.
