The Green Man has released a new blog, Finish Line. It's focus is athletics and is living testament to the fact that you don't have to be able to do something to know things about it.
I have added a facility to subscribe to The Green Man.
Subscription costs nothing and I promise not to put the information to use for any nefarious purposes.
So what do you get out of subscribing? Not that much probably, which pretty much reflects to amount you paid for your subscription afterall. There may however be the odd occasions where I may think it is valuable to make my regular readership aware of something.
In short you may receive an occasional email if you subscribe but I promise it will only be about something that you would be interested in, assuming you read The Green Man because you are interested in the content.
For me, it would be nice to have some idea of the size of the readership. So even if you don't see much value, subscribe for my sake.
The thing about blogs that distinguish them from the rest of the print media is the complete absence of an editor from the process of publishing. In other forms of publishing there is editorial control so that items like this one get weeded out.
Like most blog authors I post on pretty much anything that interests me but the blog rarely has personal stuff on it because it is not what this blog is about. A quick look at the recent posts will show that there have been a number of pregnancy and childbirth related items which has been a topic of interest recently and for a very good reason. On Friday morning at 6:20am I became a grandfather for the first time.
Accordingly you are going to have to put up with a photo of my first piece of grandfathering with my new grandson.
As you would expect he is a lovely little boy and his mother did an excellent job growing him. A little too good perhaps because he weighed 10lbs 2oz when he was born. The shocked look on the faces of women who have themselves given birth at some time in the past supports the assertion of Mrs Green Man that this is a somewhat bigger baby than your average woman would want to give birth to.
Never mind that is done with now and his mother can get on with the job of enjoying her lovely new baby.
