One of the unanticipated blogging difficulties I’ve had is deciding what to do when I’m traveling or on vacation. I faithfully read a handful of blogs and it’s always a disappointment when there’s no new post. I don’t like the idea of being the source of that disappointment for someone else. I would like to let my readers know not to expect posts for a week or two.
But my mother would be aghast if I broadcast to the world that my house is uninhabited and undefended for the next two weeks.
It’s not like I own anything valuable. Let me put it this way. Do you remember a few years back when the grand prize for all contests was a 60-second shopping spree at some store in the Midwest? Well, if I sold you a 60-second shopping spree through my house for $100, I’d likely come out ahead.
But even so, why let 0.000023% of the world know that I’m out of town?
