I am very deliberately keeping the topic choice fairly organic: I do keep a rough list, but what I pick each week is a combination of what I feel like starting talking about (and what I feel I can best get conversation going on that week.)

And part of it being 'thing I host in my own journal' is that I want what I pick each week to be very much my choice, not a democratic decision, as it were :) I certainly want to pick things that interest other people, but opening up the list feels more like "I am obliged to talk about X because lots of people want it" and that starts feeling like work to host, which is not what I want to feel. (Even if people pick really good topics, which y'all would.)

All of that said, I do keep a really rough list of suggestions, and have tucked yours away. However, I'm fairly sure (because of my own schedule, the fact I'm working on getting some specific things done before vacation mid-August, etc.) that I won't be up for it before I get back from that trip.

(Also, I have something fairly specific in mind for the 2 year anniversary of my starting my current job, on the 7th, and I've got a couple of other things I'm mulling for the other relevant week. Plus one for when I'm actually on vacation.)
