She’s finally here! And wonderful… there’s nothing like reading a book with a newborn asleep on your chest… looking forward to many such afternoons…

Birmingham By the Book
Thanks to Carla Jean Whitley for the mention in the August issue of Birmingham Magazine. Very cool! So everyone go out and buy a copy so you can tell all your friends “hey, I read that book blog”… but seriously she put together a great list of what the article calls “The Essentials… must-visit websites that will guide you through the city”.
The piece is populated by local online heavy-hitters, including al.com, bhamterminal.com, wadeonbirmingham.com, bhamwiki.com, etc. (you know all the guys that must have invented the interwebs).
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks. It’s fun keeping this site going and even more so when you know folks are reading. Plus, she got every last punctuation mark correct in {head}:sub/head. Why is that important to me? I dunno. It just is… and you have to appreciate someone that pays attention to detail like that.
Now where did we leave off…?
The batteries are recharged! I honestly don’t know how some bloggers do it year after year, I just don’t have the stamina. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t read the blogs! Nothing recharges the ‘ol blogging batteries like lurking about all of your sites.
Lots of changes coming soon, to this site and the publishing industry in general. It’s going to be interesting! Much of which I think is summed up by Adrian Tomine’s New Yorker cover this week. I’m going to frame it for my office.
So a belated congratulations to both the Theorist and Susannah, each for the new chapters they have just started! It rocks!
So thanks for sticking around and not deleting me off your RSS reader. We’ll be back up to speed soon. Too much time has passed and too much has gone on, I just have to figure out where to jump in.
One hundred and twenty-three
That is how many days have passed since I have posted here at {head}:sub/head. That’s 4-months exactly.
I’m still making some changes around here, but you can bet that I am well rested and ready to start passing along the choicest bits of books and Birmingham marginalia.
Hope everyone had a rest-filled holiday!
