NEWS: No News is Good News
“So I’ve got this newborn,” writes Leslie K from, er, I don’t know where the hell she’s writing from. Anyway, she goes on to explain that this little girl of hers, Kristen, is an absolutely perfect “button nosed, always happy, little angle,” but is the messiest eater of all time. “My terrier drools as she watches the food get smeared all over. Just once I’d like to lift her up and let her and let her lick K’s face clean, but my dog isn’t really baby approved. So today, I decided to test her. I rubbed the food on my face and got down on my knees.”
Nice.
“It seemed like something you would do,” she continues, “and you know what, I don’t know why but it was like the funniest thing ever. I was laughing so hard I started crying. I think Kristen thought mommy was hurt, but it wasn’t anything like that. It was fun.”
Cool.
Her note got me thinking though… I don't know why, but I’ve got about fifteen entries saved up, everything from The Milk Challenge and Central Park Slip N’ Slide to The Strangest Fundraiser and a bizarre bet I’m calling Airport Leapfrog, and yet, for some reason I haven’t felt compelled to put them up. So I’ve decided to take a little time off—45 days to be exact. Minimum. In that time I’ll keep doing what I’ve always done; stupid stuff that makes me smile, going on my dates (keep the emails coming) and taking pictures. I just won’t be putting it on the Internet. Not right now anyway.
So where does that leave you? I don't know. Let a dog lick something off your face. Free a fish. Take a shower in a fountain. Whatever makes you happy. See you in a bit. I hope you stick around, but if not, that’s cool too. It’s been fun. For me anyway.
