Now I Am Become a Man…

The Man, Burning Man 2011: Rites of Passage

Follow Me Here… turns thirteen today. (I know this because I got a text message from my calendar app reminding me to send FmH a birthday greeting.) This is the age, according to Jewish law, when a young man becomes accountable for his actions and become a “Bar Mitzvah”. If FmH were female, this would have happened a year since, as a “Bat Mitzvah” occurs when Jewish girls become 12, and it means the same as it does for boys — a rite of passage from being considered unable to properly understand things to being considered old enough to begin to understand and thus for boys and girls alike to be treated more like adults. So I guess there is no excuse anymore. I will try to act responsibly…

In any case, thank you all for continuing to be a part of this journey and helping to make this a vibrant conversation. Many happy returns to us all.

Is there is one post from the time you have been reading FmH which you would single out for distinction?

  3. Happy birthday. I can’t single out one post for recognition. There have been far too many that brought me insight or information that I would otherwise have missed. Thank you, Eliot, for sticking with it and continuing to share your ideas and discoveries.

  5. Congratulations. It is hard to single out an article but I’ll check my blog for a re-blog in the past. Follow Me Here is a lovely stream I like to splash through occasionally.

  6. Congratulations Eliot. FmH is a gem among blogs, and we readers are lucky that you have kept at it so long and so well. I check in every day, the old fashioned way (no RSS). Thank you for being so generous with your time, and may FmH have many more anniversaries.
