I remember this

This is the time of night where folks start drifting away, like the Teddy Bears spirited off by their Mommies and Daddies following their picnic. I don't blame them, but it starts getting pretty quiet around here and I wonder if anyone's left to read what I'm writing.

But, frankly, that's not really important. Aw, I love it when folks read and respond to the things I write, and it makes the time go faster and stay more enjoyable during Blogathon, but all I really signed up for was to keep posting, at least twice an hour, and that doesn't depend on readers.

So, to those who are able to stick around, by virtue of either geography or will, I appreciate the company...but don't feel guilty if you can't resist the call of slumber. I have plenty of voices to accompany me through the night.

Comments

Uh, what kind of voices? Are they all variations of your own?

I am gonna try to hang for awhile longer.

Did you notice how delusional Jimmy is? He posted that it was 8:00 and we had made it....funny boy.

Just got in from back treatment from Katie and thought I'd let you know someone is checking on you.

here sir. I forgot to get a script to auto reply every once and awhile so I'm have to do this manually. Did you see the fireworks? It was a pretty good display.

You better get those folks (or would it be "that folk") down under to typing!!! I can hear the call of the bedsheets!!! What time of the day is it down there anyway?

Well I'm afraid I may be one of the ones slipping away - but we'll see how much longer I can last.

Are those voices the ones in your head?

Mark, you don't wanna know anything more about The Voices. Trust me on this. ;-)

Gene, I figure you're just getting started. Hope your back's doing better now.

SG, I heard 'em, but couldn't see where they were. Was it the ball park?

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 11:24 PM

Lyle, they're well into Sunday afternoon by now.

Like I said, Beth, the less we speak of The Voices, the better. Oops. I hope that won't keep you awake tonight. ;-)

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 11:26 PM

we actually made a run to the park just to see the fireworks...

You should step outside for a couple big lung fulls of cool fresh air. It is really nice out tonight.

Of course, I'll be here for a while in between putting together this desk I'm making!

Posted by: Rachel at July 29, 2006 11:27 PM

I may not post often, but I'm still around trying not to yawn. :)

Got it - don't annoy the voices. You know, I don't think that will keep me awake...I don't know that a brass band could keep me awake at this point. :)

Posted by: beth at July 29, 2006 11:29 PM

Mark, you know me and "stepping outside for night air." I'll either fall on my face or get striken by allergies.

Rach, is it a DIY desk? You may have to post photos.

Debsy, if you're trying not to yawn, this probably isn't the best place to hang out! ;-)

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 11:30 PM

Yes, it gives you the parts, you put it together!

Posted by: Rachel at July 29, 2006 11:33 PM

Beth, if you think The Voices are bad, you should hear the Brass Band. ;-)

Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 11:33 PM

And I'm up for awhile...I'm a night owl by nature, so I'll be reading what you're writing, good, bad or indifferent. I'm trying to review some tax returns and work on a restructuring spreadsheet and watching a program on the Freemasons, if that gives you any idea of how high the bar is in terms of what constitutes "entertainment." ;-)

Posted by: Gwynne at July 29, 2006 11:34 PM

I just don't know if I can handle the pressure of competing with tax returns, spreadsheets and the History Channel!

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 11:37 PM

I was just thinking that Gwynne set the bar pretty high. I mean, tax returns? Wow - talk about scintillation. I know whose house I want to party at! ;)

Posted by: beth at July 29, 2006 11:40 PM

Well, so far, you're winning that competition. ;-) Beth, we've already established that you don't know how to party, Miss Goody Two Shoes. ;-)
