Top two uncle stories from the holiday season:

  1. One of my uncles is a professor and pulled me aside during my grandmother’s Christmas party to ask if I’d recently seen a sudden spike in traffic on my blog. When I told him, “No,” he explained to me that his university had recently held a conference about how they needed to incorporate wikis and blogging into their courses, and when it came time to pull a blog up on the projector to use as an example he’d used mine. In a room full of 250 PhDs from across New England. He smiled at me at the end of the story and said, “Hey, I tried,” and all I could think was, “I hope a post about poop or butts wasn’t at the top.” 
  2. At the end of said party, as I was giving my goodbye hugs and kisses, another uncle tapped me on the shoulder and whispered, “Did you ever figure out whose vibrator it was?” I answered with, “My money’s on [redacted],” and he frown-laughed and told me it was a rhetorical question.

Now back to my regularly-scheduled posting, where I pretend that no one but two of my friends and maybe a boy I have a crush on read this thing.
