I was reminded this afternoon that many out there are still unfamiliar with the concept of blogs. I guess most families actually talk, whereas ours reads each other's blogs to see what's going on. When we DO finally talk, we say things like, "So, I saw you went to so-and-so...". It's also nice with our DS2 and family who live pretty far away, and also my DDIL2's family, who are actually not relatives of ours, but we love anyway, we can keep up with them as well.
Our neighborhood has had a rash of petty crime this summer and decided to blog our various incidents and "unusual sightings" to form a running account. One of my favorite neighbors, pretty and brilliant, and wears the most colorful and original clothing, emailed to ask, "What the ham fat IS a blog?" (I think that's what she said. Yes, I'm pretty sure. Guess that's a polite alternative to the rather crude euphemism I usually use...)
So in the process of defining a blog to her, I introduced her to my own, and then had a momentary panic about the appropriateness of my blog. Yes, most of it IS quite boring, and even my wittiest observations pale in the company of true wit. But, have I said anything ugly about anyone? Have I hinted at not liking anyone? (There are lots of folks I truly don't like..)
But I blithely pointed her to the address and will suffer the consequences. I try to keep the blog on the real up & up, so that what I say today doesn't come back to haunt me later. It has worked so far, with one exception, but hey, there's always got to be one in the crowd.
I hope she, and anyone who has the time to waste reading this stuff, enjoys. Namaste.
