Geek alert!
A friend emailed me to let me know “Mother Abigail” is now Tweeting.
That sentence may not make a whole lot of sense to you unless you’re read Stephen King’s “The Stand,” in which the survivors of a mysterious super flu nicknamed “Captain Trips” are drawn into a fight against good and evil. The good have dreams about a woman named Mother Abigail, who is 108 and lives in a Nebraska cornfield. The bad turn to Randall Flag, who draws them to (where else) Las Vegas.
Anyway, Mother Abigail is now Tweeting. I signed up to follow her and an hour later received a message:
Randall Flagg is now following you on Twitter!
Truly we live in interesting times. Whoever’s doing it has the speech patterns down pat!
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day! But Captain Trips had a MUCH higher mortality rate – 99.7% maybe? (That was geeky)
And, since it is your blogoversary tomorrow, what is the traditional gift for a one year blogoversary? I guess paper would be out. Maybe a shiny new typeface?
This is absolutely surreal. I’m watching the President of the United States, telling me to wash my hands and to cover my mouth when I cough or sneeze. . . .
You may be right on with the reference to Captain Trips!!
Happy Blogoversary – let’s all keep washing our hands and we’ll be reading your blog a year from now!
