Collaboration is hard for the same reason it's good:
other people aren't me.
Only people who aren't me can push me in ways I can't push myself (obviously), and that's the point of collaboration, as well as the rub of it.
Sometimes I grudgingly like to collaborate, because it's "good for me", but this morning's collaboration was an easy pleasure:
Hannah e-mailed a sketch of something she'd witnessed, with a blank thought-bubble.
It was very satisfying to fill in the dog's thought.

Also somehow satisfying, I noticed on Blogger stats that I have published 1608 posts here. What a nice round number, 8 being half of 16 and all.
In the year 1608, Wikipedia informs me, King James I [whoa? what? strange guy....] granted to Sir Thomas Phillipps a permit to distill whiskey, and Bushmills Distillery claims this as the beginning of its production of Irish whiskey.
