Ahhh, blogging. A cultural phenomenon that’s even made its way to television through shows like The West Wing, Half & Half and How I Met Your Mother. (Aside: What’s funny about the …Mother reference is that Neil Patrick Harris, once known as Doogie Howser, keeps a blog on this show and, as Doogie, was TV’s first blogger, as pointed out last month by Panama.)
It’s been over a year since I’ve started an organized blog and I must say that putting my thoughts out there for strangers to see has proved to be somewhat fulfilling. To be clear, I’ve been writing for all of my adult life and have even been published. So it comes naturally for me. It’s what I do.
But blogging didn’t come automatically for me. It actually kinda scared me at first, knowing that people could offer immediate opinions on the things I wrote, that they could critique what I chose to share and what was on my mind.
And then it became exhilirating. Sharing thoughts on a daily basis, no matter what it may be. Yup, from my former Blogspot to my current spot here at Blogsome, this past year has shown me the ultimate power of the proverbial pen.
Over that same time period, I’ve come in contact with many people. Fellow bloggers. The ones that have stood out to me are located on my blogroll to the right. Last week, I told you about four such individuals. This week, I bring you four more. I like to call this “SpotWrite Thursday.”
Soooooo, without further ado, let’s meet some more folk … shall we?

Lawd, it’s been a long month. Sure, wrapped within the past 30 days has been a spectacular trip to Miami, Nikki’s birthday, more bloggers retiring (Diggs), on hiatus (Fave) and moving (Singing and Golden), the rise of the football Giants and South Side ChiSox and the demise of the punchless Jets and emotionless Yankees. 
Aside: Before I begin, Happy Birthday Nikki!!!
