Blogger has this cool new gadget called "Followers," which I have renamed "Rooftop Friends." It is my understanding that it works a bit like a friends list on MySpace (or, in my case, crashMycomputerSpace). Now, please don't get me wrong. It's not about how many friends I have or don't have. It's more about the fact that I am nosey and want to know who some of you are!
With the Feedjit gadget I can see locations, and some identities of my visitors are obvious. My cousin Michelle lives in Joplin, Missouri; the Sonlight people are in Colorado; I've become reaquainted with friends in Killeen, Texas; my sister-in-law lives in Knoxville. Then there are those people who pop in once by accident, never to return. A marketing company overseas. Someone in London who Googled "underwear pictures." (I'm sure they were shocked by Justin and Owen!)
But there is this other group that falls somewhere in the middle. WHO ARE YOU?!?! Who lives in Ohio and comes to visit from Kara Bright's blog? Who keeps coming by direct link from France? Cordova, Tennessee...are you my cohort Lee Anne? There is also a returning visitor north of Jackson, near Kevin's first job as mathematics teacher at West Carroll High School.
So try the new gadget. Or don't. I'll still be up here having my coffee, wondering who you guys are!

Pure Blogging Excitement!
I really had to work up the nerve to move this blog out into the open. I'm relieved that it's been so much fun!
This week I had visits from Texas, Ohio, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Japan, and Bombay!
I've also had a couple of brushes with fame. (If you don't think this is fame, you have to understand that I don't get out much.) I accidently stumbled into an email conversation with Jay Younts, author of Everyday Talk), and now Luke Holzmann of Sonlight just commented on my blog. Of course, Katie wouldn't be impressed unless Justin commented. She thinks he's "Mathtacular!"
So now I have caught up to my friend Teresa, who had to stalk Linda Hobar before she could hang out with her.
