A blog I never miss is called Bookwormroom. I know the lovely woman who writes it. She stays anonymous because she lives in Marin County just North of San Francisco, has a Lefty husband, two children in public school and nearly all her neighbors and friends are Lefty Fundamentalists. As are mine.
It is dangerous for a parent to be openly pro commerce in our environments. The children are bullied and harassed. People sneer, hate and certainly won’t help with babysitting and extra household projects if you ‘aren’t one of them’. Lefty Fundamentalists in big cities are downright nasty people.
That is all beside the point and off the issue.
Bookwormroom is candid about the days she can’t do her blog. Sometimes it is work, sometimes it is her invalid mother who needs help, or the kids or the whole family.
So she just tells the truth and marches on. We readers are happy to wait until she can get back to blogging.
Would that be possible for me?
I have blogged everyday for more than 16 years, that is nearly 6,000 blogs. On this blog engine the number is 5,200.
Could I go a few days without blogging if I told you the reason? Just asking.
