Hello to everyone in DSI land!

According to Google, DSI Land would/does look a lot like this.

Today’s blog post is a special one because today we celebrate our 100th follower on Twitter (of which, Whitney assures me, only 10-20 are mindless robots who may or may not be bent on the complete eradication of the human race).

Or DO They?! (Picture from: http://tinyurl.com/3b5ndln)

In honour of this milestone, I present you with three things only tangentially related:

The song “I Follow Rivers” by Lykke Li

The trailer for “Following”, a film by Christopher Nolan

The Poem “Follower” by Seamus Heaney

My father worked with a horse plough,
His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.
The horses strained at his clicking tongue.

An expert. He would set the wing
And fit the bright-pointed sock.
The sod rolled over without breaking.
At the headrig, with a single pluck.

Of reins, the sweating team turned round
And back into the land. His eye
Narrowed and angled at the ground,
Mapping the furrow exactly.

I stumbled in his hobnailed wake,
Fell sometimes on the polished sod;
Sometimes he rode me on his back
Dipping and rising to his plod.
I wanted to grow up and plough,
To close one eye, stiffen my arm.
All I ever did was follow
In his broad shadow around the farm.

I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,
Yapping always. But today
It is my father who keeps stumbling
Behind me, and will not go away.

That’s all for today.  Thanks for following us and enjoy your Mark Walberg wednesday!
