Ask and ye shall receive

The process of rolling out a blog to one's friends and acquaintances can be a delicate one. For example, the FG included The Swivel Servant, a lovely FG-ex, in the coterie fairly early on. He then had dinner with the FG's mother, when she was in Bytown, and expressed his admiration for the blog. Which, of course she'd never heard of, and will never have access to. (No worries, SS, she only remembers to ask me about it 2-3 times a year.)

And then there's the choice of whom to include in the narrative. Some are obvious candidates, because they're just so bloggable, or they're part of the blogosphere. It would be too much work to omit others - they're just a part of daily life. Others require a bit of finessing, and, as you know, the FG always errs on the side of discretion.

Coterie members have generally been happy to be included, or at least silent about their level of involvement - others make the occasional comment. All had been smooth sailing thus far.

Until yesterday. When the door of the Boudoir opened to admit one Josh Lyman this week, he came back with a roar - where was his blog entry?!? How had he gone unmentioned for this long!?!

Josh, consider this your welcome mat. A warning to anyone out there - watch out for dropping names and don't ask him about Amy.
