Last night I had a very strange dream: Dave from Blogography had a Blogography compound outside of Seattle. It was a multi-acre piece of land that sloped downhill all of the way to the interstate. Dave ran his entire Blogography empire from this compound.
Then, one day, the site no longer worked, and emails to his email address came back undeliverable. A large group of bloggers flew to the Blogography compound, only to meet with Dave and find out that he decided to close up shop after four years of blogging every day. The reason? He decided that blogging wasn't environmentally friendly, so he sold the compound to Al Gore.
Al Gore was there, and he had decided to make the compound into a park that had one long slide, much like a Slip-n-Slide. Except, since using all of that water was wasteful, it was a dry slide. As you can imagine, it didn't work very well.
I talked to him, and said, "Al Gore, you should visit my blog sometime. It's at Avitable.com." (For some reason kept referring to him as "Al Gore" instead of "Mr. Gore" or "Vice President Gore").
He laughed and said, very patronizingly, "Ohhhh, suuuure. I'll go check out your blog." He started randomly typing keys on the keyboard and pretending to type in my URL. For some reason, whatever random characters he typed went to a Christian Scientist site. He laughed at me, but I felt vindicated because his stupid slide idea didn't work.
Then, everybody got naked and danced to that song that they dance at the end of Caddyshack.
Weird, huh?
And now, for the super mondo big announcement!
It's almost Thanksgiving, and that means that Christmas is right around the corner. And that means that it's almost time for another round of Avitable Christmas cards!
If I was smart (well, I am) and organized (I'm totally not), I'd already have many of your addresses from when I sent out postcards. But I don't!
So, get sending! Email me at my first name at my last name dot com with the subject line "Santa is coming" with your name and address, and I will add you to the list. Santa won't be checking this list, so it doesn't matter if you're naughty or nice. Although naughty is better.
Email me by the end of next week to make sure you get added to the list!
