I has a good mix of the practical and the fun. On the practical side, the fast recognition that a posting got you through google is something that anyone contemplating a blog should read. On the fun side, I laughed when I read the story of the two maids in your hotel bathroom. Thanks for the comment and link on managing one's reputation on the web.
