Dearth of Comments

I had hoped that by blogging more regularly I might get my comment count back up. There was a time when I got at least one comment on every post I made, but things have been pretty slow recently. I think the only one who comments regularly anymore is Ed, and I'm pretty sure that's just his tactic for avoiding the big final papers he has to write in order to graduate with his Masters of Divinity. I think the problem is that for a long time I was the only one in my family who blogged, and not only that, but it was novel. Now I have two sisters, two sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law and uncounted more distant relatives (cousins, etc.) who are all blogging. And they write about cute stuff like their precocious kids, and post pictures of the precocious things they're doing (which mostly seem to involve applying markers to surfaces other than paper).

I guess I need to start pandering. No more posts about how tough it is to do a startup. No more complaints about lack of sleep, or children vomiting. No more posts about role-playing games, video games, any thing with the letters "g", "a", "m" and "e". Which is... difficult. Okay, they all have to be in the same word... But still never again!!! From this time forward it's just cute pictures of kittens!



Wow! I didn't realize how soul destroying it would be to post even one of those pictures... It's like I need some gum to get the bad taste out of my mouth. I can't do it... I can't sink to that level... I guess I'll just have to be content to blog along quietly without any feedback, or any outward clues as to whether anyone is even reading my blog.
