What am I really saying here?

ByAlan Page

I ran into a former colleague yesterday  – she mentioned that she had read several of my recent blog posts and that it seemed that I had something else to say – that I was hinting at something that I never quite said. I wasn’t aware of anything I had said (or not said), but I do know that I can be careful with my words sometimes, so I went through the last dozen or so of my blog posts, to see if I could find any loose ends or hints.

I didn’t see anything – but I recognize that I may note be able to see it in my own writing. So, if you have time, let me know what you think – do you think there’s something I’m not saying? Something between the lines? Something you want to hear?

This is the first year since 2004 where I’ve been at the conference and not in the EE group. You’d think that…
