"In circulation"

There's a very interesting profile of Attorney Ron Miller from Miller, Shakman & Beem in the August Chicago Lawyer. He's nearing 75 and was sort of looking for a challenge and how to reinvent himself. So he started this monthly luncheon group called The Public Affairs Round Table where he'll bring together different "players." Once a month or so, he invites some 40 or so people to sit down at the firm's conference room to start a discussion about public affairs...whatever sparks his interest.

He has a nice quote in the articles that I think is true and applicable to blogging: "I never know what's going to work and what's not going to work. When something works it's usually a suprise. I never know what's going to bite, so I keep in circulation."

I'd like for the blog and things beyond the blog to have a bit of this "Round Table" effect.
