The first time we created a blog, on our Cross-Country Trip in 2012, we did it just to let our family know where we were. But when we found out other people were actually reading our blog, we got carried away (on our Voyage of the Vikings in 2014, too). So, once again, justified or not, we imagine ourselves to be really interesting, so people want to know what we’re up to.
Most people keep in touch on Facebook, but to read our blog you do not have to friend us, and therefore we do not have to unfriend you. You don’t have to like or dislike what we write. We can be blissfully unaware of your opinions while we still have fun expressing ours, because, like everybody else, we do this mostly for ourselves. You can still send us comments, though (on the Comments page), and we will read them. If we like them, we will publish them, and if we don’t like them, we may still publish them to show every one else how disagreeable you are.
But the blog will be respectful and only use one of George Carlin’s seven dirty words if it is absolutely essential to eloquence.
