A few weeks ago, when I began to get ready to make an audio recording of the first episode of MWTC<\/a>, Mannheim: The Rental Car<\/a>, my lips and tongue found many little things to which they objected: a missing transition here, an unpronounceable sequence of consonants there. So at the insistence of my vocal equipment, or I suppose at the prodding of the intuitive consciousness which guides those muscles – the mute being which smiles or frowns or grimaces as I speak, or attempt to speak – I rewrote the piece.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the character of The Blogger<\/a> began to change as I rewrote, rehearsed, rejected, then repeated the process again and again. Now The Blogger seems much more a creature of his age, which is to say our age: a traveler obsessed as much with internet connectivity as he his with his hobby, medieval history. Or maybe his character just revealed itself more clearly.<\/p>\n
