"Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation."
Judith Martin, (Miss Manners)
This might seem a strange quote to begin my first Ovurlunch blog entry, but it sounds good! The rise of the Internet, the world wide web, the proliferation of blogs, MySpace pages and so on means that everybody in the world now has a platform from which to hold forth. But let us not do so merely because technology allows us. Rather, let our words be meaningful and useful to others; let our criticism be constructive, our sentiments noble, our praise generous, so that the end of the day, when all is said and done, we will know that that is the moment when the talking has to stop.
Ok, my feet are in the water. This could be fun.
