Why in hell do we feel it necessary to spew out explanations as to why we haven’t blogged in a few days? I mean… really!!!
Life happens, you know? And, when these little twists and turns cause us to veer away from our respective blogs, there are always those one or two people who disappear from our reader’s list. Then, like madmen, we frantically scurry to create some type of apologetic post as if we OWE these flighty strangers the time of day. One of my very favorite Bloggers in the world shared one such item yesterday after the frequency of her posts dwindled and several readers took off, like thieves, in the night.
Know what I owe these people? My heartfelt wishes that the door didn’t hit them in their asses on their way out!
For anyone else who is still sitting over there on my reader’s couch, thanks for sticking around, this Bud’s for you… along with an explanation. Just because.
The Northeast was slammed with a beastly storm over the week-end which took down trees, power lines and left assorted amounts of snow across several states. In upstate New York, we measured just under 20″ at our home, masses of unseasonal white stuff which is now slowly melting as temps climb.
The only bad thing is that we have no cable, internet or telephone but..we are empowered by the hum of our generator. As such, I eagerly run out the door to drive the 50 miles to work where I fire-up my computer and blog, only to find that another reader has bitten the dust.
Whatever. So long you fair-weather, imaginary friend!
