I was driving through the rice fields of the plains of northern italy on my way to work this morning, looking out for the odd guy fishing for frogs in the narrow ditches lost in fog, and wondering what it was that I could not remember. Then, as a lonesome ray of sun sparkled off the corrugated iron of a tumbledown warehouse highlighting the decrepitude of Milan's hinterland, a furrow rippled across my forehead morphing into a silent exclamation: there's a grid::blog ripe for ritual on Jan. 15.

For all you sultry bloggers ready to rack the ritual in three days time, there's a topic-exchange page where you can post links to your entries, check out what others are writing and get your RSS feed, if you so desire (thanx Abe!).

Also, for future reference and easy search engine retrieval you might want to add this [grid::ritual] to your title.

Catch y'all on Thursday!
