What, I Haven’t Been Posting?

Shocking.  Just shocking, I tell you.  I mean, it's not like i WARNED you that I was going to New York on a business trip, and that you could switch over to Facebook and follow my shenanigans there, right?  So– you got the twelve status updates and like, fourteen photos I uploaded over the course of the past ten days, right?

Oh….you're not on Facebook?

Ugh–sorry.    You must understand that "mobile blogging" is very hard for me, as I just can't find a way to make my rapier wit come out when I'm typing entries in the tiny keyboard of my Blackberry.  Did I mention that I write these entries in a composition book?   I did try out an all-in-one service where it posts your entries to Typepad AND Facebook AND Twitter, but it turns out I use way too much media (i.e. photos) in my posts, so it really doesn't work.  And you know how much I like my photos.  So, I decided to wait until I got home, and had picked up the dog from daycare, and done eight zillion loads of laundry, and opened the mail, and answered some of the more urgent, HOA-board related email, and watched the episodes of True Blood I had saved in my Tivo and….had a moment to sit down, put all the photos in one place, and start composing blog posts about them.  So– here I am, and here they are, and the laundry is mostly done, and the giant pile of s%^t on my desk is smaller than it was this morning, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling.    Did I mention the dog had minor surgery two weeks ago (not cancer), and it turns out he has severe arthritis, so now we have to give him pills, and special food, and vitamins, and medicinal powder?    This takes up TIME!   Precious blogging time!

I know, you're still mad.  But– will this make you feel better?    I took SO MANY funny photos while we were on the road! 

Nice, don't you think?  This was stuck to a globe at one of the airports, but I think it could also apply to some people I know. 

No?  What about this one:

Seriously– that door is LOCKED!  WITH KEY!

This is actually a pretty good way to get people to not use the sink, should it happen to be NOT WORKING!

I don't know why I like this home-made signs so much.  I also took alot of photos of the Banksy murals that are currently all around SOHO, and will be doing a post on those later in the week, in case you don't know who that is, or why that's interesting.  Suffice it to say we had a great time in New York, lots and lots of work got done, and now we're home for at least two weeks, until we're going back up to Carmel again. 

Oh, and also?  I think you should get on Facebook.
