Feedback at the dinner table

My son chewed me out last night. “What was I thinking?” he asked. “Your blog has become boring and pretentious just like those motivational CD’s you listen to and what’s with this begging for comments.”

Now I have learned from the 31 Day Blogging Course that you respect, appreciate and respond to your return readers and I have to say that my son has followed me faithfully from the beginning. I tried plan A: I offered him a guest post but he was not interested. So here is plan B. I’m sharing one of the gems that he has sent me recently.

This one cracked me up. He told me about it the other day and then forwarded the video clip. It was a V-8 moment. I loved the new Star Trek movie. It’s actually the best movie I have seen in years and I didn’t even resent paying movie theatre prices to see it in Imax lite.

He also likes the nice houses that I come across and share. Like this one on the wrong side of the Beverly Hills city limits. It’s a little stark for me. The back yard is not a place you would like to hang out but better landscaping might make it a contender.

Finally, for you readers – and I know that there are a few of you – even if you don’t leave comments despite my desperate pleading. If I don’t hear from you, I am going to assume what I want to assume about my efforts here and head right on over the cliff. If I crash and burn at the bottom, it’s all your fault.
