Vacations

As many of you know, I’m nuts for blog stats. I check my numbers more than once a day, and am usually very quick to reply when anyone leaves a comment on my blog. Ok, a lot of the time my reply will be on the commenter’s blog rather than my own, but still, I’m there.

Not right now.

It feels strange to do a Talk To Me Tuesday in advance. I usually come up with it the night before. I usually talk about whatever is on the top of my mind. I guess that’s true this time too, though you won’t see this for days.

What’s on my mind is that I’m on a houseboat in Lake Powell right now. I’m not likely to get back online for a week. And I already know what my stats are going to look like when I get back.

Not good.

Even though I have a post all ready to go every day this week. Even though Mr. Al will be around as much as ever. Even though I will be eager to come visit your blog as soon as I can, I’m betting you won’t come to see me until I go to see you.

So my question this week is would you have known if I hadn’t said something? Can you tell when someone sets their blog on autopilot and walks away? Do you care?
