Things have been busy here IDW. For the most part, good busy. Lots of new projects at work, lots of movies to see before the Academy Awards broadcast, lots of dinners with friends new and old. I've discovered -- during this busy time -- that blog posts are best composed on-line, at least, IDW. This surprises me because I'm very old-fashioned about writing in general . . . I prefer to write on a yellow legal pad with a black Pilot pen. But, when I tried to compose blog posts this way it didn't work. Apparently, for this medium, I need to be at the keyboard, watching the words pop up on the screen in front of me. Who knew? (And yes, who cares? But I'm among friends so I can muse a little, right?)
And here's another blogging surprise . . . almost every day I log onto my own blog to see if anyone has posted a comment. (And as most of you know, most days I am sadly disappointed. Alas! Comments are few are far between. More than one of you has told me you "can't figure out how to leave a comment." Ummmmm . . . I'm thinking if I can figure it out, anyone can! And that includes you. But putting aside my disappointment for a moment. Trust me . . . we'll get back to it. Because I REALLY, REALLY wish you'd comment, dammit!!) But putting all of this aside for a moment, what never ceases to take me by surprise a little is that I am so often SURPRISED to see my last post at the top of the screen . . . as though I expect the blogging elves to have visited the site in my absent. (Remember The Shoemaker's Elves? Like that . . . only, you know, with words.) But no. No elves. Just the last thing I wrote. And somehow, I'm a little surprised. And the tiniest bit disappointed.
What was I expecting? And wouldn't I be alarmed if someone actually DID make a new post on my (supposedly) secure blog? Which would mean they'd cracked my password? Of COURSE that would alarm me!
There's no sweeping point to this. It's just something I find curious. And I wonder if other bloggers have experienced this?

actually... what I've been doing since I cracked your password is go in and delete all the comments people have been leaving... HAHAHA!! (evil plan laugh)
Well!! That certainly explains the lack of comments!! I KNEW something was amiss!!
You say it so well there is often little left to say. No comment does not mean no love. : )
Nice save! You and your husband are both so clever!!
Did this actually work?
So, let me try again...I'd like to comment on the fact that not many readers are commenting on your blogs. Well, I think it's a real comment on the people reading your blogs. I mean, if a person comments in the forrest and there isn't any one around to read it, did they really comment?
Hmmmmm...I have no comment!
