The Best of the Rest

Sincerest thanks to everyone who took time to come to my rescue in naming the blog. I know it was not an easy task, because I couldn't do it myself which is why I asked for your help. However, it was delightful to read the entries not once, not twice but many times. There were many good suggestions, but besides the winner, three others were worthy contenders::

Yours, Mine and Flowers, Connie Akers

The Flower Mill, Eric Earnhart

Civil Discourse, Roger Elkin

A special nod to the several folks who included some reference to "Straight Talk" in their suggestion. I liked that name...until I remembered it is used by community blogger Jeff Artis. Though Jeff has a very strong blog, I figured I shouldn't duplicate the name he uses.

Again I thank everyone for making time in your day to read my no-name newspaper column. and to keep reading it, particularly on those mornings when I make you want to throw your cereal bowl and scream, "WHAT WAS SHE THINKING!?"
Sincerely,

s

"In the flow" represents purity and clarity. Something this country needs at the moment.

I like "In the Flow" (even though it cost me lunch!) I think you made the best choice. Looking forward to the ongoing conversation.

Talkers

  • Ladies, relax!...it's (I'm) not that serious - Women take breast-feeding seriously. So seriously they failed to see I was poking fun at myself, not breast-feeding, in the introduction of my column.
  • Legitimate request? Or is she milking it? - When it comes to breast-feeding, I'm in league with a quiet sect of men -- and women: It grosses me out. Not the idea of mothers bonding with their babies and providing them nutrition and other natural goodies for healthy, growing bodies. But the act of them doing so, anywhere in my visual range.
