Comments on: Blogs: Another Essential Zayo Tool http://bearonbusiness.com/blogs-another-essential-zayo-tool So much has happened in telecom over the last decade, both good and bad. With BearonBusiness.com, I strive to dissect what’s happened before as well as what’s going on in the here and now. I try to capture stories from the boom, the bust, and, now, the resurgence. We are fortunate to work in a great industry (communications) at a great time (the dawn of the Internet)–let’s reminisce, reflect, and celebrate.

"Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight and I'm going to drink till I get my fill. And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it but I probably will. Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of, well time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of glory days."

We used to waste away hours over a pint or two embellishing the past. Can we give that a try? Let's talk about the glory days.

I think it should have been YOUR, but I was too sidetracked watching DAYS to catch it. ps I've never watched the View a day in my life. Well at least you didn’t correct my use of you’re.

"Doesn't sound terribly enjoyable," you say--maybe you need a personality as well. You strike me as the type who watches The View and complains to whoever will listen to you that you can't believe people waste their time on such trivial matters. Then you are late picking up your kid from school because you can't turn off the soap operas. Do you still drive-through McDonald's five times a week to pick up cheese burgers for your kids? Thought so. Maybe you'd accomplish more if you didn't sleep the other 12 hours a day. (P.S. to other readers as I don't want to scare off commetns--I am just having fun with the person who wrote this....half of this comment I wrote while laughing on the phone with her.)

How else would you describe you're being perplexed and their confusion? For me, family, work and life comes first. Then a person needs sleep. What if someone is already working 12+ hours a day? To stay ahead, they need to spend more time reading daily blogs? I guess if it's part of work, but it doesn't sound terribly enjoyable to me...

I enjoy blogging but at times it feels like work. Getting feedback like what you offered is what inspires me to continue. Rob, I'm sorry. Did you mistake the publicity I gave you as "free"? There is a cost for everything. Now you need to say something nice about Zayo or Envysion in your blog. Ray, it does make me feel better. I enjoy blogging but at times it feels like work.

FWIW, I spent years thinking that blogging was some bizarre fad, now I can't imagine life without it. It just opens the door on so many conversations and new ideas I'd never have otherwise. - Rob Wow, thanks for the free publicity Dan!

You may not see us on your page hit counts, but we are here on RSS, or via consolidator pages, or even via Google RSS alerts. Sincerely, Ray p.s.- By the way, we read both Rob and Darren's blogs as well. Please don't tell them that though, ha! Make them earn their RSS feeds! Dan,
