I try not to get political on this blog, but I plead with you to help me with this important issue.
Sophia and I will be driving to Portland in the beginning of March and we may take a week or two to complete the trip. Today, I was saying that we need to find hotels with internet access so that I will be able to blog every day.
“No way!” she said. “We’re on vacation. I’m not going to sit there every night watching you blog and write five hundred emails We’re supposed to be having fun.”
“I need to blog a little. People will get worried.”
“Worried about what?”
“If they don’t hear from me, they might think we fell into the Pacific Ocean or a redwood fell on top of us.”
“If that happened, they’d read about it in the newspaper. You’re NOT blogging EVERY DAY.”
“Listen, woman, I’m the one wearing the pants, so don’t go telling ME what I can or cannot do. I will decide how much I blog!” I loudly thought to myself.
You can see the seriousness of my situation. My only real hope is YOU. I made a deal with Sophia. She will agree to let me blog every day if, and ONLY if, I can collect 1,500,000 signatures by March 1st saying that it is essential that I blog every day. If I accomplish this, Sophia will not stand in my way. Otherwise, she will give me a lot of shit.
Please help. Send all signatures to:

Ooooh, I hate to buck the trend, but I am totally with you Neil!! Blogging has become as necessary to me as breathing. I am letting my children sit and stare at the Disney Channel right now as they mechanically shove cheese puffs into their mouths because I have to catch up on my blogging. It’s a very vital and necessary part of my day, far more important than grooming my children to become productive, non-obese members of society!! So Blog Away my friend!!!
sorry; i am with sophia…
my suggestion; ask your best blogging buddies to co-write for you while you are gone; then when you return everyone will be happy.
oops… I see “faint hearted” already suggested guest bloggers. You might read up on them; fun for everyone!
Sorry Neil but I’m with Sophia. Leave the computer at home. It’s quite liberating. Less time on the computer means more opportunities for crazy adventures.
We’ll be anxiously awaiting your return.
I totally agree with you. We are going to Jamaica at the end of March and do you think that I will be leaving my computer at home? Hell no! I hope they have high speed Internet access in Ocho Rios. Or at least dial up.
Can we just sign here? I hope so, here’s my signature:

I’ll do the best that I can for you, Neil. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can get you more than about 10,000 signatures. After that, my hand starts to go numb.
