I get the hum. I will even buy the musicality of it. My fear though is that it’s too much of a ROAR, But perhaps this is just my tendency toward obsession. Now I’m checking in on Harriet all the time, lurking.

Hello Lucia Perillo
I’ve been asking myself similar questions, since I’m not usually drawn to blogs. I’m also on dial-up and just about as far-flung as you can get. For me, Harriet is a particularly fresh and fragrant field of flowers to drift and flit around, sometimes finding inspiration, or even new friends (hi, Reginald and Jonathan David). At least once, I’ve used something I posted here for another purpose, so there’s the practical side, too. As V. Woolf wrote, “…in those days [people at luncheon parties] were accompanied by a sort of humming noise, not articulate, but musical, exciting…” Harriet is like a luncheon party for me. The bloggers are so highly articulate and prolific that it becomes a pleasant humming noise, perfect for a butterfly.

What a great bit of datum. That I’d know someone who flits through. But you didn’t answer the question: why. And what does it mean that we are having this little conversation in public?

Hey Lucia,
Fancy seeing you here. A little surprised but I’m pleased. I’ll be reading.

Welcome to Harriet, Lucia. You’re our first dial-up blogger! We’re looking forward to reading what you have to say from a less information-noisy outpost.
