Why So Gloomy, Gus?

Geez, at lunch today I poked around a few of my regular haunts and everyone is on such a downer!

I won’t do that to you. I mean, 99% of the time, no gloom. This site started in 1996 as a humor site. It updated between once a month and once a week and my entire goal was to bring a smile to the face of anyone silly enough to stop by.

Just because I use automated blogging software doesn’t mean I want to crab and moan about stuff…I still want to make people smile. Maybe I should try harder – there are sites out there who do a grand job of amusing the masses. Then again, if I only post funny/happy/amusing stuff, the page might not get updated every day. Is that okay? I remember when we made the change from being semi-weekly to daily – I polled my regular users (the people who got the newsletter letting them know there was an update) and even my sister said she didn’t want it to be daily. Maybe it’s not as funny now.

Wait…this post is started to make me sad. Better change direction.

Junior: I had a hotdog for lunch today.

Me: Wow! That’s great! Did you like it?

Junior: No

Me: You didn’t like the bread?

Junior: I didn’t like the brown thing inside the bread.

Ummm. Okay. Hot Dogs are a no. [He doesn’t eat anything. He hates foods that most normal kids beg for, including candy, cookies, ice cream, etc. He doesn’t eat bread unless toasted, and that’s rare. Sandwiches make him gag (I think it’s the bread). He eats his toast dry, but we can put butter on the bread for a grilled cheese.]
