Blogs I Read: Jeff Richardson
September 21st, 2007 | by Scott |I read a lot of blogs. I mean a lot. The missus says I read too many and I think she is probably right. I need to trim my reader soon before it gets unmanageable.
One of the things I want to begin to do is begin to share with you some of the blogs I read. Each Friday I want to focus on the ones that are written by people I know and have some level of relationship with. Hopefully it will encourage you to get to know some incredible people.
First off, is Jeff Richardson. My reason for spotlighting him first is largely a selfish one: I want him to blog more often.
I first met Jeff back in 1985 when I began attending the same church. We became friends even though he would ultimately go on to set my yard on fire. 
He even spent a summer in college staying with me and my family. Outside of my dad I’ve been friends with him longer than anyone else on my sidebar.
I lost contact with Jeff over the years, a failure to remain in touch that I take sole responsibility for. However, the world of blogging has put us in contact once again. And that has been a tremendous blessing for me as he has helped me think through some complex and troublesome matters.
Reading Jeff’s blog will quickly alert you to his uncanny ability to cut to the heart of an issue or topic with amazing clarity, keen insight, and a scientists rationality that boggles my mind. I wish I was this smart. And he is a great guy to boot.
Read Run to Win here and then come back next week for another great blog recommendation.

If you take me off your list, I’ll haunt you! Everybody needs a little mindless fluff sometimes - you need me!

Why in the world would I remove you? You even qualify for my side-bar

Scott -
Thanks for the shout-out!
That whole yard fire thing was one of those blurry moments in my memory that I still can’t quite figure out. Very unfortunate
It should be said that I did feel a little guilty leaving you standing there as we drove off (for the record, I wasn’t driving…)

Stuff burns. Get over it.

If I remember correctly hadn’t I been out with the girl you were dating that night?
And to let you off the hook it was just a little piece of paper that I stood there and watched as it erupted into a small conflagration. And you did jump out run down the street and stamp it out.
Now, who was driving that night?

Yeah, I thought I’d ultimately had a pang of conscience and come back to help. The image of you standing stupified over the flames just got to me. But I wasn’t sure if I was remembering that or wishing I’d done it. I can now, finally, sleep peacefully!
What girl? I have repressed that memory.
