[I’m kind of burned out… and I’ve added another hundred followers. Normally, this would mean another installment of The Moosehead Stratagem; however, that will be difficult because it hasn’t been created yet. I’ve got a collection of columns I was trying to peddle years ago and next week will be entirely those.
So, this is kind of a separation, albeit a brief one. I think that we can get through this if we stick with the following rules of behavior:]
You can see other humor sites… if you promise not to get emotionally involved with them.
And, to be fair, I won’t greedily solicit praise from anyone new while we’re apart.
As far as possessions go, please return my subtle irony and biting wit; you can KEEP the puns.
I’ll return your poetry, essays and any furniture that your aunt gave us.
Remember that this separation is NOT your fault. I just need some time to work things out… things such as why you’ve destroyed our great relationship with your nonsense.
I firmly believe we can separate like two mature adults and if you unfollow me I will die.
I’ll be back to writing new stuff in a week. Until then, enjoy some unpublished, “This Day in History” columns that were once turned down by more newspapers than currently exist.
The very fact that this post is written as a list is a great indicator as to why I need a week off.
I’ll still be reading your blogs because Deb craves attention, Chelsea might fall into some weird pregnancy-related psychosis and Mister Muse… well, what can I say about him that hasn’t already been said under oath in court?
Thank you all, sincerely, for another hundred follows. Please let me know how you like next week’s pieces…

Enjoy your break! I take them all the time and still turn out a bunch of crap. I’m like a 1 in 20 as far as good posting goes. And “The very fact that this post is written as a list is a great indicator as to why I need a week off.” made me smile 🙂

I love your posts, Robyn. I’ve raised two boys to adulthood and your posts bring back a lot of memories. Declan has some unique issues; but, mostly he’s a kid and it’s nice to read the stories of his and his siblings’ development…

I don’t really live or die by the “like” button. But, a “good morning” is always nice…

Unfortunately, the “Like” button often dies by me when trying to use it on certain blogs (yours being. one of the ‘lucky’ ones). That being said, I bid you good morning, and bid WordPress a ‘wassup with that?’

My crippled mind is not cooperating in that regard… I’m probably writing too much poetry…

One can never write too much poetry, unless one goes crazy like James Joyce or Emily Dickinson.
