Follow me, and I promise not to lead you off a cliff

I've discovered the "Followers" gadget on blogger, which you'll now see on the right side of the page. I thought I'd try it out but only so long as it doesn't leave me feeling like a loser - which means I'll keep it up for a little while here and hope that some of you actually decide to follow my blog.

Try it! It will be fun! It's a win-win situation: you'll get restaurant tips, and I'll get to feel better about myself knowing that someone out there actually reads my blog.

It's these types of functionalities that keep me the heck away from Facebook et al. It's way too easy to get overly competitive about how many virtual friends you have...
