tomorrow, so that makes this my Friday night. I think I'll get another glass of wine and settle in for a long post. I am behind in my
1. Why do you read other blogs? Is it voyeurism? Curiosity? Are you just being nosy?
It started out that I had discovered these "personal site" and I was totally being nosy. I was curious. It was total voyeurism. I admit it. I felt I was looking at something I wasn't supposed to see.

I only comment when I have one to offer. I do "try" to comment every once and a while, but if I'm not feeling it I don't. There are my regulars, where we read each other and I usually use a combined "reply to comments on mine" or "comment on yours" to keep in touch...
