LYT's Weblog

I never thought a blog called "LYTrules" would have a guest blogger -- it seemed almost beside the point. Then in March, on a visit to England, I came across a big stack of columns that my grandfather, Peter Graham, had written and printed in the local village circular. It occurred to me immediately that they deserved and merited a larger readership than that.

So I tried to persuade him to have a have a blog of his own, where he could engage in discussion with others whose ideas differed -- this is a man who has actually been known to convert Mormon missionaries who came over to discuss their faith with him. I said I'd set up the blog and do all the work -- all he had to do was write the posts.

But much as he liked the idea, the concept of increased email spam bothered him more. He finally said something to the effect of: "I'll send you the columns, and you can do what you like with them, but I haven't got it in me to do anything more."

So no Skypilot blog. Instead, once a month, his words class this joint up a bit. I even designed a sweatshirt in the Spreadshirt store just for him (he has never seen it, to my knowledge).

I'm hoping to interest him in a Q&A type feature at some point down the road, but he may not feel up to it. In any case, I have given him some 1500 additional readers he wouldn't otherwise have, and who knows, maybe he attracts readers here that I wouldn't otherwise have.

Peter Graham is our Man of the Year. And if anyone is interested in purchasing his autobiography, he may still have a few copies!
