Please permit me to say something a little self-indulgent about story tips from readers.

I'm happy that we are steadily building readership here, thanks largely to generous links from smarter and more widely read people. But one of the things I prize the most is a story tip from a reader who thinks that I might like to write about something.

Here's the thing — I don't always use them. In fact, more often than not I don't use them. But that's not because I don't appreciate them, or you, Gentle Reader. It's because at that moment I can't think of something interesting or funny to say about them. Blame my medication.

But thanks for the blogging suggestions and tips. We welcome them. Sometimes when the planets are right we will use them. Keep them coming.
