My wife shared this cartoon with me, clearly entirelhy agreeing with its sentiment regarding my own attitude toward this blog and you, my readers. When I protested that I didn’t take that attitude toward my blog in conversation with her (of course being entirely more modest), she reminded me that I have been known to ask her how many Facebook Friends she has. To which she replies: “But I know every one of my Friends”
So you can see there is an element of truth to the cartoon though I don’t like to admit it. But at least I’m willing to poke fun at myself, for what it’s worth.
Of course, I don’t have a “huge internet following.” But I do cherish all my readers (or almost all of you). And my wife too of course! Acharon acharon haviv (roughly: “the last, most beloved”).

Can you tell me more about the New Yorker profile. Perhaps a link if it’s online?
Yes, Richard. Your work is greatly appreciated. Keep it up, and if it takes a little bragging to your wife to help you feel encouraged in your work, then so be it.
Year, I agree with External. Really: Your website is truly inspiring!
I lurk a lot – read you everyday but rarely comment. So if there are others like me, then you may have a huge following. Keep up the good work
🙂
