As someone who tries to limit how much I type - mostly because I start to ramble and lose track of my original intent - I think twitter and RSS feeds are killing the internet just as surely as video and flash. I like the reading, especially when, as you do it, it's done well. If you ever share your creative writing, I'd probably enjoy reading it. And here's my vote for more of your blog posts when you find time. I’m willing to take the class as an excuse, if needs be, and thanks for the info, anyway. :)

If so, you are the best friend in the universe. I have always been of the mind that I'd rather actually interact with my friends children, though I'm sure the photos are lovely and quite artistically framed. Not sure it is an entirely appropriate comparison, but I think there is more to your blog than a mere measure of friendship. And it may just have more to do with you than with me. As in, write for your yourself. To return snark for snark, though, If you would like a list of all of the incredible writers (including my friends--I have lots of great friends who are also great writers)--whose stuff I never read, then I'd be happy to provide it. Just so you wouldn't think it was just you that I was ignoring. I'm an equal opportunity destroyer of friends' hopes and dreams.
