Hello blog faithful. No real blog today. No need to wade through paragraphs of nonsense. No stories to tell. No laughs, no tears, no groans. It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve and I’m enjoying the time off.

Greetings blog faithful. It’s again Thursday Blog Day, although I’m writing this one on Wednesday because my day tomorrow is jam-packed from 7:00 a.m. until late in the day. I shall endeavor to post this at some point, but I don’t want to confuse the entire blog-reading world by posting it today. Wednesday is not blog day.

What a week this has been, and I got the easy part of it. At least so far. Here’s a quick round-up of things that have happened since last Thursday’s blog: Barbara and Todd both got on planes at Heathrow Airport to fly home on Sunday, with Barb flying nonstop to Minneapolis while Todd had to connect in Atlanta to get back to Orlando. Yes, they had a great time.

Greetings blog readers! Today I’ve been musing on this little existential gem: What if, hypothetically speaking, no real people actually asked me questions for this blog, but I answered them anyway? Would it be that falling tree in the forest that nobody heard? Or, would it just be a new creative way to write about nothing? I’m going with the latter. And for the record, I think the tree makes a noise. There may not be a human there to hear it, but trees and all the living beings around them are organic. It makes a big noise, if it’s a big tree. But why did it fall in the first place? That’s the bigger question!
