who are you?
I know you're out there. This blog gets over eighty visits per day and about six hundred unique visitors per month. Now, I like to think of myself as friendly and popular, but I know I don't have six hundred old college buddies reading up on me. Sure, some people check the blog from more than one place, some people come here once and never return, but I still can't name more than a couple dozen people who I know read devarim.com, and even most of them I can't be sure about. There are some IP addresses and hostnames that I've been seeing in my stats for the better part of a year now, and I still don't know who's at the other end. So, if it worked for RenReb, maybe it will work for me.
Who are you? Speak up! No comment too small. Introduce yourself here. Post something witty in an older entry that is currently comment-less. Go find a discussion that died down and bring it back to life. Email me, if you must. Do whatever you want, but say something. (And don't make me start posting those IP addresses, because, so help me Kate, if I get desperate enough, I will.)
We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no-one may pass.
Something tells me... I count as an old college friend.
Came across your blog by bouncing from one to another. I am from ct and my wife is from brookline (and still has family there). We are in Jerusalem a bit more than 20 years now.
I find your mikva project interesting and i wonder what it will lead to.
We are members of Kehillat Yedidya , a progressive orthodox community in baka.
I went to columbia, my wife to Barnard and we lived on the west side a couple of years prior to aliya. So there are several common areas with your postings.
Would suggest that several of your interests should lead you to yerushalayim, and that earlier is better than later.

I come here whenever you or my husband redirect me to a post. If that doesn't happen for a while I check up on you myself. between the 2 of us you should have at least 3 IPs in France and 2 IP in Israel accoutned for.
Found your blog via a message board we both post to, and I like to peek in once in a while to see how you're doing. Seeing life as a big shot lawyer makes my job more interesting :)
I think you told me to come read it, so you probably know that. Do I count as an "old college buddy?" I never met you there, but I hung out with your husband quite a bit. (As part of a larger group.)
Um, you sent me your blog link, ammemmer? ;)
found you through the project .. lots of people and places in common...
I've probably been reading your blog since I saw your beautiful wedding pictures that Jaclyn shared with me what seems like ages ago. I'm ashamed to say I never recognized your talent for writing nor told you how much I admire your menschlekeit until this point. I love reading what you're up to.
Are all your readers called Miriam?
Obviously, it's a superior name! ;)
I check in once in awhile to see what you're up to. ;-) I miss talking to you!
I read your blog fairly often (though not the last few weeks, obviously, 'cause I have been working on the design of a friend's blog template...). Just a fellow Brookline-ite.
Hi. Just passing through and came across this post. I'm now no longer a lurker. :-)
Maybe if you could all the friends (or whatevers) of old college buddies, you would get to 600. He recommended Mayim Rabim, and I found this through that. Long time, no see: it was good to hear what you've been up to. Hopefully I'll see you in person sometime.
Actually, Janet R., I'm going well over 200 visitors per day now (on weekdays) and I'm already past 1600 unique visitors for July. :-D
(Nice to see you visiting...)
I got the link from Mayim Rabim, which I think you told me about. Good luck with the moving!
I found you through Persephone's blog. I felt sorry for you about the whole Filene's Basement thing, so I put you on my bloglist. And then I got sucked into Mayim Rabim and through your guestblogging stint, DovBear.
Will it never end?
er, I guess I don't get any points, because I didn't actually answer the question. I'm a MO Jew, I don't live in Brookline (but I have cousins there and my sister used to live in Charlestown), and I have a cute dog.
