I was reading the above book to my baby goats last night as one of the 50 I had to read for their bedtime. Everyone was interested in the book, but surprisingly remained silent but at the same time, I could tell their brains were chewing on something. Then when I got to the end of the story, my 5 year old said what that sound CLICK, CLACK was supposed to mean? I said it was the sound that a typewriter makes. You can guess what the next question was: “Dad, what is a typewriter!”

After wanting to jump out the window (we live on the first floor…it figures), my genius 9 year old said:

“A typewriter is a devise ancient people used before computers were invented. I know, because I think I saw one in a museum once.”

I told him that archaeologists have recently dug up the remains of television sets that did not come with a remote control.

To BoMR (Both of My Readers):

What is your opinion of maintaining multiple blogs? Here is my dilemma. Assuming I had enough time in the day (who does?), I am interested in many different topics; each very distinct. For example, I love writing and though I am not very good at it, I would love a site designed simply to showcase some of my fiction and thoughts about writing. I consider myself a skeptic and would love to write more about some of the issues that are important to me related to atheism, science, logic, rational contemplation and debunking myths. I also want a place to chronicle some of the craziness that is my life as a parent, post family pictures and quoting my “baby goats.” Oh, and liberal politics too.
Of course, the assumption that there is enough time is critical. I have already been told by my non-blogging friends that I have “too much time on my hands” for blogging about nothing. I have SO MUCH time that is why I am writing and reading blogs at 3 AM. But time is another issue entirely. It is a commodity that no one has enough of.

But, with an interest in so many distinct areas, there is a desire to run separate blogs.

The questions I have for BoMR are:

• Do you run more than one blog?
• Do you find it easier to organize your thoughts when each blog serves a distinct purpose?
• Do you find it difficult to manage multiple blogs (ie possibly different platforms, logins, interfaces etc)?
• Does you blog designed to generate an income? I would assume that in this case, you would need to have separate blogs.

I know blogging about blogging is minimally interesting, but as you know, your opinion matters to me.

Ciao for now
