It has come to my attention that not all bloggers are created equally. I noticed this quickly after surfing blog posts for, well, what was out there in blogging land. And so I wondered if it's just me or is there a real competive feel to the nature of the blog site?

I have to admit that I read very early on- One of my favorite authors that made me giggle (and still is) was Maurice Sendak. If you were fortunate to have read his Nutshell Volume of little books, you too may be familiar with (my favorite), Chicken Soup With Rice. "In January it's so nice while slipping on the sliding ice, to sip hot chicken soup with rice. Sipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken soup with rice" Or..."In December I will be a baubled bangled Christmas Tree with soup bowls draped all over me.
