In regards to the former

I'd been neglecting not only posting to my own blog, but also checking the blogs I normally read.
I follow them in Google Reader, so it isn't like it is hard to do or anything. I just wasn't thinking about it.
But now I am.

And by golly, the blogs are much more entertaining than the daily fare over at facebook.

But maybe that's because my family is much more entertaining than my friends, or maybe it is just that I like them better.

Of course, just by adding this post to the list, I am drastically reducing the entertainment factor of the family blogs.
For that I apologize.

the end.
