MIA

Originally posted Friday, December 12, 2008  

So, I leave the blog unattended for 8 days and only on the eighth day do two people email me to ask about it. My family knew where I was, and a couple of readers are my friends on Facebook, but most of you just go blithely on your way.

Sigh.

    i love reading your posts every day, but i figure you have a life of your own too and would not presume to think my need to read something amusing every day takes precedent over your own life. i am glad you are back.

    I was a bit perplexed that you didn’t leave a note at first. I also wondered (via Twitter) why you and Matt and Barb all seemed to go silent the same day – I wondered if you all had been sequestered away or something.

    Really glad you’re back!

    I reckoned you were off with The Sweeties, enjoying the holidays, unconcerned with the likes of us.

    I am soo glad that you are back!! I am not a long-time reader of your blog and I can only say that I am sorry that I didn’t discover you sooner. Actually my son discovered you and connected me once I evolved to “Google.” You cover so many subjects as we once did around the dinner table. I feel right at home with you. Above all, WE love the southwest, Albuquerque in particular. Many happy memories from there. Thank you for being such a prolific writer.

    I realized you had stopped posting without any warning for a few days, and was actually starting to work my way up to at least leaving a comment asking if everything was okay.

    I missed you too. I’m an avid everyday reader. I also figured you were out and about with the sweeties.

    Bottom line ~ I’m glad you’re back, hope you know you have a groupie kind of following and you should get back to writing, right now!

    Thanks.

    Hmph! The LAST time you had an unexplained absence, I put a comment on the last known post inquiring as to your whereabouts…which was summarily DELETED.

    So I wasn’t gonna make that mistake again.

    I knew your cranky ass would be back when you were good and damn ready!

    Welcome back. I missed you!

    I missed you, too. However, I thought it was Bloglines ’cause it’s been a mess lately. Today, according to my bloglines, you posted 216 posts. I knew you were prolific but… :)

    Welcome back!

    Cheers!

    So, no posts today thus far. Is this the appropriate time to start noting the lack of activity?
