I got home today, and everyone else was at the dentist’s. The house was silent. There were so many things I could have used that time for: a decent blog post, for example. But no…I spent it reading other people’s blogs. And when I had just turned my attention to blogging, everyone came home.
Oh, well.

Hey, at least you let us know why you didn’t post a decent blog.
On another note, I just finished The Color of Magic by Pratchett. Mostly amusing with some really well-done scenes (tavern brawl, dragon fight, wine glass episode). The sequel is in our reading room as well, so I expect to get to it shortly after I’ve finished reading The Sharing Knife series by Bujold. She’s terrific!

This makes me think of the episode of Malcolm in the Middle (the burnt dress/anniversary episode) where the father comes home at the end to find no one home. “Honey? Kids? … ha-tcha!” And lights a cigar. I rarely have seen Tom laugh so hard at anything. 😀

I think you are describing the general experience of anyone who reads blogs regularly.
Whenever there is spare time, there is always someplace that you haven’t visited in a while, that might be worth checking on…
