Batten down the hatches folks; the Mom reads the blog.

After a post declaring why I never told my parents the address of the blog, I have come to learn that the Mom already knows it. And has in fact been playing the at home version for a few months. [Hi Mom!!]. This is actually not a bad thing as leading the secretive double life was a bit trying at times. Peter Parker I am not. And I think she was probably relieved to learn I wasn't running a drug ring or internet porn site on my blog. Instead, it's mostly boring stuff that I tell her anyway.

But the Mom is interested in the whole blogging phenomenon, and I've offered to add her as a guest poster if she desires. So the outlook for 2005 may include "Waiting for the Punchline--the Mom version". I'll keep you posted.
