You blog readers can be a skittish bunch. They silently sneak onto the pages of a blog, ingest, laugh (hopefully) and leave without a trace. But there is one day a year where readers should feel safe to uncloak themselves and leave a comment. I speak of Delurking Day.
Last year was a weird time for the blog. Starting with a not so funny April Fools joke that lead into an incredibly hectic rest of the year, I wasn't able to focus as much attention here, and elsewhere on the interwebs, as I would have liked. Sadly many of you left, but...a lot of you stayed. I sincerely thank you for that. Even though this year looks like another crazy one, I'm going to work to be more productive here.
So help celebrate Delurking Day by leaving a comment below. Even though you might not comment regularly, it's really good to know you're here.
I will leave you with a conversation between me and the Bean from last night:
The Bean: So at school I built this awesome Lego thing and I put a guy inside. The guy had just eyes.
Me: So he didn't have a head?
The Bean: He had a head, but he didn't have a mouth. He had a big helmet like...um...like a marching band hat. It was all black.
Me: Was it Darth Vader?
The Bean: How do you know about Darth Vader?
Me: Wait, how do YOU know about Darth Vader?

Delurker here. Love your blog. That's a funny conversation!
it always makes me smile when a kid thinks nothing really exsists in their parents world.
Happy Friday
Peek-a-boo...
At least he didn't call him Batman.
I delurked, like, yeeeeeeeears ago, but that conversation must have been the highlight of your month. (Not counting the rainbow birthday cake.)
*flash*
We need to get your kids, my kids and SFD's kids all in one big room with a bunch of action figures. And video camera.
I am here. Enjoy your blog man.
I've tried to just lurk on your site, but I can't help commenting when I come here. Good stuff, 'Cuz.
Culture Brats unite. *Raising fist in air*
Wait! How could he NOT know about Darth Vader!?!? Haven't you taught him? *tragedy*
On the Lego and Star Wars note - you should see the AMAZING Lego Ewok keychain I got when we went to Chicago Legoland before Christmas. It was so hard to pick just 1. There are soooo many cool Star Wars keychains...
At least he doesn't call him Lord Helmut!
Thanks to all of you who bravely delurked...and to all of you who read but still lurk.
Your posts always make me smile. Thanks for making time for this. x
