I just realize why my blogging productivity has fallen off so dramatically since #CLMOOC started. I have moved that productivity to the comment sections of other folks’ blogs and other spaces. If ever there was a plan to anonymize one’s self, that is it. Inferius videbimus.

You have been ingested. You cannot be seen or heard in the belly of the whale. But the whale is satiated. But wait, how are you invisible if each blogger sees you and your comment every time they re-read for insight?

Been shearing sheep last two days. 50 shades of exhausted.

It’s an interesting mix of activities: blog reading/commenting and sheep shearing. I’m trying to picture the sequence, the system. Shear a quarter of the sheep, run inside and blog, shear another quarter, run inside and comment, and so on. I don’t want to hear how it really works. I like my visualisation of your life.
