I encountered an interesting new meme<\/a> at Neil’s World<\/a> recently. Theoretically, I should wait until someone tags me with it. But it sounds like fun, so I’m going to go ahead and do it. Here’s the meme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Search your blog archive.<\/li>
  2. Find your 23rd post.<\/li>
  3. Find the fifth sentence (this is meant to say something about you).<\/li>
  4. Post that sentence in your blog along with these instructions.<\/li>
  5. Tag five people to do the same.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    My archives show my twenty-third post to be Falling stars<\/q><\/a>, an account of watching the Leonid meteor shower<\/a> with my children in 2001. The fifth sentence of that post is: “We weren’t disappointed.<\/q>” What does this say about me? I’m not sure, except that I enjoy watching bits of comet debris vaporize in the upper atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I hereby tag the following people with this meme: Ben<\/a>, Bob<\/a>, Gail<\/a>, Greg<\/a>, Virgil<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I thought about tagging Alana<\/a>, but her blog is too new to have twenty-three posts. I’m sure won’t take her long to reach that number, and then someone else can tag her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
