So much for going out with a bang
It’s November 30, and this post marks the end of my month of daily blogging. Like my brother-in-law, who joined in this foolishness with me (thanks, Greg!), I did not falter. We will be buying each other beer, pizza, coffee, and Mickey Mouse ears all next week. It was nice to have company.
I suppose since it’s a gray and dreary day *and* the end of an era, I am morally obligated to become all reflective and melancholy. I hate to leave you this way, interwebs, but it’s just the vibe around here, it can’t be helped. So here goes. I am a little surprised at how addicting I found reading and commenting on other blogs, eagerly anticipating and replying to comments here, and refreshing ad infinitum my Twitter and Facebook pages (yeah okay, not that surprised. I’ve always checked my email 50 times a day, which is pretty much the same concept). I felt crazy more than once, and I welcome the fact that in theory, it is now possible for me to step away from the computer for long stretches (like even up to three hours or so) at a time. I probably won’t, but I could.
This month has worked out to be somewhat of a lonely one for me, surprisingly. I guess between birthdays and holidays and Danny’s contagious condition and whatnot, I just haven’t gotten out much. That’s when it’s especially nice to have you, interwebs. So thanks to those of you who dropped by for a day, a few days, most of the days, or all of the days. Thanks to those who commented and to those who lurked (I know I browbeat you a little, but I’m glad you’re here just the same). It was nice to have you. Thanks for stopping by.

i read every single post this month and only commented on a few of them. for this I am sorry. but since we mostly sleep in the same bed and generally discuss the blog posts, I hope you can forgive me.
Congrats to you on completing a full month of posts. It has been completely entertaining to me and I am sure to all the others. Maybe those that never comment can at least give a shout out to one of the the full month blog post winnahs.
I love you.
