I think I’m finally getting the hang of it. I used to try and force tweets. Now I only tweet when inspired. Lots of inspiration from the news lately. I remain thrilled by the reaction I get from being the bar’s twitterist. I just culled the herd for more bar-worthy ones that I’ll be giving to Dave later today.
I hope he’ll use this one in time for the Friday crowd: “If I limited my conversation to only intelligent people it would be a very lonely existence and I’d have to quit talking to even myself.” I’ll keep you posted.
For some reason, my twitter widget remains busted and if anyone wants to see tweets that actually have to go to @8days2amish. I don’t think anyone cares. Me either.
I’ll be sure you don’t miss anything worth seeing. Thanks for stopping by and have a splendid day! Try and do something to make it a better one for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
