“Kate” is what I said to the Montenegrin woman who was taking our laundry. We hadn’t had access to a laundromat in a couple of weeks and the flies were beginning to swarm around us. K-a-j-t is what she carefully wrote down. Two countries later, the same thing happened when we made a restaurant reservation. Here we were in Greece, immersed in a completely different language, but the restaurant proprietor used the Latin letters to spell out K-a-j-t. Well, seeing as I’m a guest here, I guess that is how my name is spelled, so as long as it’s not a legal document.

Now, moving on to your name. It turns out WordPress, my blog host, respects your privacy and doesn’t reveal exactly who is reading this blog. Instead, they assign you each a clever code name. This means  that while I know that candydeliciously opens the posts and frequently likes them, I don’t know the identity of this sweettooth. Other frequent readers are youngcollector, sweetrunaway, glitterwarm, and, of course, loudlyelectronic. Some of you I have figured out: butteryswag is my friend Suan, Jane is cherryblossomjealous, and shiftingintandem is Rosemary. Occasionally I get your actual names; I think those may be the subscribers. Curiosity has not spurred me enough to dig in and figure out the sweet mystery of the WordPress algorithm, I just find it amusing. And your secret name may just be noisyfuturistically.
