I'm coming, but I have to re-charge first. Anon, anon.

I see that one 'like' has checked in - but I didn't say anything yet.

NOW, I have something to say, something nice. I was busy today, still seeking an EDL (Enhanced Driver's License) to get me into the States next week to see my daughter in Boston (Quincy).

I talked to a man waiting for the bus, admiring his hat: leather with a big brim and a feather head band. He got it in Australia years ago, he said. Maybe it was kangaroo. I said isn't it nice to be older and own clothes for a long time. So we talked a bit more and wished each other a good day.

The Bay street bus driver was so cheerful, greeting passengers as they boarded and thanking them for their fare. I made a point of getting to the front door when I exited so I could thank him and tell him how terrific he was.

The clerk at the main desk of Service Ontario where I have been going for several days was so helpful and sympathetic and went out of his way to get me a phone number to help me track my EDL and made a phone call to his manager to give her a heads-up on me when I call. I thanked him and wished him a blessing.

The cashier at Loblaw's was so friendly as we discussed Omega 3 in eggs, and how good they are with the yolk still runny and a bit of salt and pepper. We exchanged some other information about products we like. She likes garlic, too.

And I had $30 reward points and redeemed them so that was "rewarding"!

It was a good day. Aren't people nice?

Sysomos Inc. is a conduit of social media providing figures and analysis of media use; it reports on who we bloggers are. There are other similar services but I took my information from Sysomos. The blogging 'revolution', as it is called, began only about seven years ago, among young people (21-35 years old) and they remain the biggest percentage (53.3%) of users today. Older bloggers, those over 50, account for only seven percent. Interestingly, bloggers are split about half and half between male and female.

The United States, as you might expect , account for the most bloggers (29%), followed by the U.K., but Canada is number five (3.93%) in the world. Breaking it down even further, in North America, they tell us that only one Canadian province is in the top ten of users - Ontario.

So here we are and there are you: an aging, gender-neutral, Canadian communicator, for whatever reason, devoted to techie conversation, albeit mostly one-sided. How are ya?

Oddly, this information makes me feel better. No wonder I garner so few likes (but such dedicated ones!) because my audience is small. Also I don't advertise. If anyone notices me, it's by word-of-blog. I'm not writing in a vacuum, but I am in a kind of limbo and you are a border-line groupie. What else? It's likely you are a communicator as well, therefore with something of your own to say. Go ahead and say it. Comments are free for the making, and with impunity, but not without attention.
