Yesterday's post put me at number 15 on the list of Top 10 Jeans.... because of the million* hits I have on the blog. And I'm guessing multi million hits on Pinterest, but Pinterest no longer tells us how many people click on each image.
Another random thought popped into my head - how many people who see my name and address on Pinterest wonder why I get so much mail? How many of them Google me? Then I wondered if I should put a page up on Wikipedia to explain who Jean was and why her name and address are all over Pinterest and any other search for mail art. It's not something that I want to do while I am still living, but it would be fun to leave after I go to the great scriptorium in the sky.
As I have mentioned, my immediate relatives (spouse, kids, son-in-law, grandkids) all know that I have a blog. They see me making the mail. They see the mail arrive. Some of them have even received mail. They have a momentary enjoyment of the mail - but it passes and none of them show any interest in the blog. It does not occur to them that I talk about them.
Personally, if any of my family members had a blog, I would be reading it every day to see if they said anything about me. I have no idea why my immediate relatives and I are at opposite ends of that particular spectrum. To be honest, I think it is a very good thing. I think I am a better member of the tribe knowing that I can jabber endlessly about them - with no worries that they will object to anything I write. To me, it is a good sign that they have all forged ahead with their own interests.
We all get along in person. I guess that's all that matters.
* Remember - I'm not sure my million hits are legitimate. They might be hits from bots - which I would not count. But - maybe there are a million human hits...... we'll never know.
