If you build it they will come …

… even if you don’t play ball.

I haven’t looked at the blog stats for almost a month since I swallowed my tongue – or maybe that would be my fingers. I didn’t think anyone would keep looking at the blog while it was neglected and frankly I got so used to lots of visitors I really didn’t want to see the stats shrink. Well the critical stat has held up amazingly well. In September so far I’m averaging 202 visits a day despite three solid weeks of nada.

I’ve got lots to blog about and I’m father behind than ever so there will be a fair amount to look forward to but my faithful friends may have to wait till after the weekend. After a busy day my wife and I got the brilliant idea of taking our little Tan Man to the movie based on the book Claudia bought for him a few weeks ago, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.” It was a movie my book jacket would have felt at home watching.

It was our little guy’s first movie in a theater. He sat through it wide eyed. There will be more movies in his future. I think we will go on a picnic in a state park tomorrow. Two weeks ago it was Gooseberry Falls so we will strike out in a different direction tomorrow. I’m sure glad summer finally decided to make an appearance.
