Hello, Hello! I’d Like You to Meet . . .
It’s a fine way to spend a Saturday visiting some B. A. D. Bloggers I know. Without hesitation, these are folks who are worth getting to know. I can say that because I did.
Have you met HART Singer yet?
HART’s mind works in mysterious ways. HART’s been around Successful-Blog longer than I have. He’s the man who said the now famous quote, Half the show is in the comments . . . to Paul Scrivens when Successful Blog had no comment feed. That was over 39,000 comments ago in November of 2005.
HART’s an entertaining storyteller and he’s got some entertaining stories to tell. Believe that. Few are about his work serving businesses as a finance man. HART doesn’t show off. His stories are about times when real-life things happened — the wheel flew off the car and went through the window of the biker bar. . . . or this one about why he was fired.
HARTs also Canadian citizen, who let me in on the secret that all Canadians know everyone, everywhere in the world, and that he is related personally to almost half of them.
When you see HART let him know that you’ve seen the bar stool with his name at Successful-Blog.
Everyone: HART!
Oh and, do you know Anita Bruzzese?
Anita is from Missouri, and she has 45 Things to show you about the things that you do that drive your boss crazy.
You might wonder how a writer living in the “Show Me” state would know anything about what your boss thinks or what you do. I sort of wondered too — until I found out that she’s spent the last decade writing about the workplace for Gannett News Service and USAToday.com, winning awards and such. They say her readership is over 8 million daily. ahem.
Anita is plain fun to talk to. We covered the topics in her book, a few places we’d been, and some things we’d seen, The best part hands down is that she’s a delightful and charming conversationalist, who on that day was as sincerely interested in another person’s new book as much as she was in her own. No kidding.
By the way, if you meet her, her last name is pronounced ââ¬ÅBrew-ZEES.ââ¬Â
HART and Anita, you are B.A.D. Bloggers!

June 30, 2007 at 9:46 PMYou’re one of the first bloggers I learned about when I decided to start my own blog and reach out to others about my book. But now you’ve spoiled me because you’ve been so supportive and are just so fun to talk with. I think you always have something great to say, and I try to learn from that when doing my own blog. I know you were a teacher at one time…seems to me you still fulfill that role admirably.

You’re too cool. What fun YOU are. We need to find an excuse to get you to Chicago so that we can just talk and talk. 🙂
