My Dog Ate My Homework
There are many different excuses for not blogging. (Dogs not involved, though).
New jobs, guests coming for Shabbat, a kid with a broken tooth, etc., etc....
I could use all of the above as my excuse, but my real reason is a lot simpler.
Our yishuv (and the next one over) did not have internet access for the past two days. That's right folks, two days without e-mail or blogs to read (and I am living proof that you can live without it!)
So, I could catch up and write a post about Dan Halutz resigning (one down, two to go...), or I could write about my take on the idea of boycotting the JIB Awards (I agree in theory, but I am a bit disgruntled. Last year I started blogging two weeks before the awards, so I was not elegible. This year they may be boycotted, and who knows whether I will be blogging a year from now?)
Instead I will just write a short apology for disappearing - sorry guys - and get on with the business of catching up with all of you.

I joined Chaims boycott. I nominated, then withdrew. Since I was not goign to actively push my blog, I figured Chaims reasons were pretty good and definitely good enough for me to join his cause...
I am willing to bet that you'll still be blogging next year.
I once took a course where the instructors dog ate my disk. (It was in those ancient days of 5 1/4 floppies.)
I accept your apology. Sniff.
Just never (gulp) do that again!!!
My kid once stepped on and crushed the disk with his term paper on it--close to 'the dog ate my homework.'
You're forgiven, of course--there are things in life beyond our control....more than I like to think about, actually {grin}
Hi guys, I hope to get back to my answering each comment individually next week!
If you remember, we've had some internetless "interludes" recently, too. On the bus to Kever Rachel, I met a woman, who says that modern pioneering is living in a place without regular access.
