March is Question and Answer Month...

Many of the bloggers I follow (see the blogroll on the right side of the page for some excellent reads) have noted that March is traditionally "Question and Answer Month."  Basically, how it works is that you, the reader, get to ask me, the blogger, about whatever it is you are dying to know about me/Him/us/what it is we do.  If you ask a question, I will do my best to answer as honestly and quickly as possible.

However, in order for this to work, you have to submit a question (that's cuz I failed Mind-Reading 101).  You can do this one of two ways:  you can leave a comment on this post, or you can send your question via email to the email address in the right hand column.  It's not a link--I  use a text box to protect against spam--but if you copy and paste it, it should work just fine.

For those of you who are lurkers, feel free to submit your questions anonymously.  I am a big-time lurker, so I understand your apprehension about "de-lurking."  That being said, I don't get many comments, but I would love to have some interaction with those of you who do stop by here every once in a while.  I really am a nice person, and I won't bite, I promise.

So, let's try this experiment and see what happens.

Thanks to you...and you...and you...and you...

This blog is one week old today, and what a learning experience it has been.  With a fair amount of trial-and-error (and a small amount of swearing), I managed to learn my way around Blogger.  After it ate one of my posts, I learned to write with Word Pad so I could save my work and then transfer it over (again, with a small amount of swearing).  Mostly, though, it's been fun, and Master is enjoying it, and that's what really counts.

My one week-old tenure in the blog world has given me something else besides learning what RSS is (seriously did not know, sigh).  It's given me a new appreciation for the writers of the blogs where I so frequently lurk.  I appreciate your dedication to writing on a regular basis and your willingness to be so open and to share such intimate parts of your life, the good and the bad.  A tip of my hat to all of you, and my thanks. 

And yes, I used the "L" word up there--I am a big-time lurker.  There are blogs I have read for several years, and I have never come out of the dark and into the light world of commenters, not even on LOL day.  I can't explain why; often I don't feel as if I have anything useful to add to the conversation.  Plus, I commented on one of my favorite blogs one time,  my comment was taken the wrong way, feelings got hurt, and I felt terrible.
 
So, what is my point with all of this?  I guess to thank the bloggers that I read, to apologize for being such a professional lurker, and to state that I will attempt to comment more often (key word, attempt.  No promises.  Lurking can be a hard habit to break.).
