Blog Purpose
I’ve been going through a time of questioning the blog gods. I’m wondering what purpose my blog is serving right now, which isn’t much. Maybe that’s because I’m not posting a whole bunch, but that’s because I don’t have a whole bunch to post…and the cycle continues. I do not want to be one of those blogs where all I do is post links to other peoples blogs that found cool stuff. That’s all I see from some blogs and it drives me kinda batty.
So beyond that…do I post picture after picture of Elliot? Or talk about my day at the bank? Cause here’s my schedule (most days):
6am: Rise & shine and head to the gym
7am: Return home to wake Sunette and get ready for work
8am-5pm: Work; which always starts with a big cup of joe, some work, some internet, some chatting, some lunch (either at home or with co-workers)
5:30pm: Return home, help Sunette with dinner, play with Elliot
7:30pm: Get Elliot ready for bed
8:00pm-11pm: Hang with Sunette, either both on the computer or watching Mythbusters
That, my friend, is one exciting schedule. Not much blogworthy there. So I’m left asking what the heck to talk about that’s of interest? Yeah, I came up with the same answer. I say all that to say I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with the blog right now. The posts may come, they may not. We’ll see, but thanks for your understanding.
I don’t know Jonathan, I kinda like looking at your blog every now and again. As a military family, we are usually very far from friends, or making friends that we will move away from very soon. So looking at the blogs of far away friends can be a way to keeping up with friend without all that would really be required in calling everyone and seeing what they are up to on a weekly basis – at least to the extent a blog can show. And then when you do get the chance to email or talk, you have a clue as to what they have been up to lately.
Maybe daily posts wont be that exciting, but writing about what you guys are up to now and again is a nice way to keep up with your family – and not just as regards to Elliot’s health at any given point in time. We hope that blog stays pretty empty – with little to no changes any time soon.
Oh, and without your blog, I would never have gotten “Choc’late Rain” stuck in my head or seen the cool Feist impersonator!

I love your blogs even though I don’t come here every day. I”m always interested in what you have to say and in the cool things you seem to find on the internet… I say keep them coming…there isn’t a quantity limit…
