It's a Bloggert World

Bloggerts - those who read, but never respond.

At the National Bloggert Meeting of America:
"Hi, I'm Dave,....I'm a Bloggert."
"HI DAVE!" - actually that wouldn't really happen, it would be more like:

"Hi, I'm Dave,....I'm a Bloggert."
(complete silence) - nobody wants to commit to a response.


Over the course of the blogging experience since we began this journey back in the Spring of '07, I've met many who read Rooseveltdav (formally known as Rooseveltdave,.. until I switched to a fancy shmancy header that holds me to only 12 characters - and how many factors would that be, 'oh smarter than a fifth grader?),..told me that they have been faithful readers and prayer warriors, but are uncomfortable when it comes to responding (that or they just don't have the time to compete in what has now grown to be a NEW Olympic event - not sure if it's going Summer or Winter Olympics just yet). To them I say,...welcome to the world of Bloggerts - for I too have a blog that I have been a frequent reader of, yet never once responded. The writer of the blog has a way with daily life that I enjoy reading. I think it's because she's a teacher and says things that would get most teachers fired.

It's been only recently that 'My Blogger' has announced the possible end to it all. She's become a blogger with little to blog about, besides her new baby (yawn - not into the baby thing at this point). Call it a terminal writers block, or the need to move on, but she is seriously considering hanging up the keyboard. As a Bloggert, where will I go? Do I leave a first and last comment letting her know of my Bloggert ways,...thanking her for her take on everyday life? If I would have known that the end were so close, would I have shaken my Bloggert status and taken the committal plunge? You know, once you comment, it's over. The Blogger knows you are there and you are reading. There's no more true Bloggert status. You're outed!

Not quite sure I want to be outed as her Bloggert. I know that there are those of you out there who know of the Bloggert way (read and go - no commitment to responding). To you I simply say, "Thank you for reading, for praying, and for following. I'm in no way running short of topics, information, or our life in cancer, but I may run short on time for a few months(it's Basketball Season Baby! - little Dick Vitale).

Peace and Prayer

Day 173:

I know,... Foto Friday and NO photos.

This is commonly known as Hey, what's wrong with my computer, Friday.

It seems that no matter how many times I click on the same button, I get the same response - Try Again Later. The only problem is that later is now (after all it is Friday).

Hannah went to school today after getting the all clear on her counts. It was actually picture day for her. Kim said that the photo people stopped by to make sure she was having it done today. When I asked, "Are you going with or without hair?" she proudly responded, "Without of course."

How far have we come in six months? The moment she first lost her hair flashed through my mind as she stood before me smiling with all that baldness,... she was going to have her picture taken natural What a difference.

Speaking of difference,....Kim and I are torn about the party. Looking at the future forecast they have the temperatures fairly low. Now that's not a big problem - we're Lake Michigan People for Pete Sake (dress in layers)! They also have rain in the forecast - slight problem. With a house that can hold about 50 people, our numbers might be grossly over that (which is an AWESOME thing). We were thinking of opening up the party to mid afternoon once again to spread out the masses. In short,... party on the 10th starting in the afternoon and going into the night- we'll see you at some point.

People are still asking what they can bring. Side dish for 150 people would be wonderful. Thanks!

Seriously, I thought we would originally have around 70 people, but as always,...Kim is right and I'm wrong. I believe her words were: "You want to throw a party? Do you know what that means?"

If you want to bring a side dish, put it in a consumable pan. However, it is not necessary,... I have a bag of beef jerky in one of my bike saddle bags we can pull out after the pork and hot dogs are gone.

Peace, Prayers, and No Shoes Up Stairs on the Newly Shampooed Carpet
