BACK BUT NOT BLOGGING

I'm back from Colorado and Maryland - four full days away from home - but I'm not blogging....well, other than to tell you I'm not blogging, which I guess kinda makes me a liar, but not a big fat one. I've just learned that skipping a day on the blog freaks some folks out and annoys others away forever. So I have to say something everyday. Today the post is "I'm not not blogging."

Instead I'm baby sitting so Becky can restock the fridge, building skyscrapers out of blocks with my son, changing diapers, micro-waving lunches, mowing the yard, playing Go Fish and Old Maid - basically reminding my kids who I am. Four days is a lot longer to a 15 month old than it is to a Dad.

Tomorrow - blog, blog, blog!

Until then...

I think it's the history of daily posts that created this problem in the first place. Follow my example of sporadic posting and everyone will feel like you're giving them a present when Bloglines pops up with a new post. Keeping expectations low keeps your approval rating high. ;)

Yeah, you set your own self up for this with the aggressive blogging pace. If you don't say something daily it will feel a bit like the guy who takes a girl flowers everyday while they're dating only to never bring them to her again after they're married. Jerk.

Hey Shaun! Great to hear about the live recording. I hope it all goes well for you and that you get to do the DVD too....I haven't been around for a while (...this is starting to feel like I'm in a confessional...)...I got a new job...I'm now the MANAGER (!) of the brand new WORD Bookstore in the Sydney CBD. APparently, we're the only Christian resource store in the entire CBD. That's pretty exciting!
