Letting You Down

It’s funny. Back in the day, my blog would get lots of comments. But over the past year or so, readership has dwindled (it probably doesn’t help that I’m not exactly reading other people’s blogs as much as I used to). Anyway, since I keep thinking I have no readers, I felt no guilt in skipping a day (or four) of blogging.

But I’m pleased to say that I’ve had three people email me to find out why I’ve not been blogging. WOO HOO! There are still readers our there (they apparently just refuse to comment on my blog).

It makes me think this blog entry should be fantastic; Filled with hilarious stories, riveting political commentary, and engrossing details.

Alas, there isn’t much to say (which brings me right back to assuming I have no readers anymore).

I’m pissed. Does that help? Does that make things more interesting? You see, the plane ticket to Europe I’ve been tracking (flying into London, out of Paris) jumped from $601 on Sunday to $1,100 on Monday. Hello? It’s the same flight yet it nearly doubled in price in a matter of hours?

Fugedaboutit.

Oh, and you know my uncle who was in the hospital last week? He was releaed on Thursday. But within hours of him getting home, his wife was admitted to the hospital (pneumonia). It never ends in my family. At least my sister-in-law seems to be doing well these days.

Gee, I guess I did have a few things to write about.

    Dude, I still read your blog regularly. I get it as an RSS feed into my LJ, so it’s kinda cumbersome to comment, but I do read! For reals!

    Karl,
    With you and Randy being the major Wii fanatics, you absolutely must get one of these. A strap-on and golden showers and Wii all at once!

    That would be a hilariously fun game to play. I can’t believe it’s just an April Fool’s joke.

    Sigh

    Your blog is the only reason I have a computer.

    Yep – I often feel like giving up the ghost because the comments are scarce… I’ve tried to be better about reading through the blogroll and commenting though. 🙂 I just figured you were combing airfares and didn’t have time to blog.

    Speak of airfares – I SO feel your pain. I will not even get into the disastrous situation I had with B.A. yesterday. Still – I am hopeful. Ticketless, at the moment, but hopeful.

    Karl!!!
    I still read your blog. Just haven’t been commenting.
    Good luck on that ticket situation.
