Juan Cole and blogging

Yesterday, I had yet another chance to compare blogging notes with Juan Cole. Juan, of course, was a pioneer: he started his blog in 2002, I started in 2003 (I started an email list in 2002 but the blog started in the summer of 2003).  I realized that Juan and I spend the same amount of daily time on the blog: although I have a nagging suspicion that we both may understate how much time we spend on it.  He blogs at night, and I blog in the morning, although I do remember times when one blogs non-stop.  I asked him whether we would continue doing this in retirement: he said it would only increase because we would have more time on our hands.  Scary.
