Blogathon 2007?
Q: Will you do Blogathon again next year?
A: At this very moment, I would have to say that I will not do Blogathon next year. If I were a single college guy, it'd be great and I'd love to do it every year. Physically, I am up for the task. Sure, my neck and back hurt from sitting in this chair for 23 hours so far, but I didn't start to get tired until about 22.5 hours in. I do this to myself all the time, and it's no big deal.
As things are, however, my time with my family is just too important. It pains me to be home all day and only able to spend 10 minutes playing outside with my son, having to pass on helping him ride his bike, and unable to pick up my toddler because I've got to get the next post finished in time. I was reading Hooked on Phonics with my son during the evening hours, and I had to stop to write up a quick post. By the time I returned, he had fallen asleep. It's just upsetting when that happens. Luckily, he woke up in the early morning and wanted to finish the book with me (and did).
So, it's not you — it's me. My family is important. You understand, don't you?
Still, one positive thing about not blogging next year is that I'd get to participate more with all the fun blogs out there — you guys are fun! I just wouldn't be hanging out all 24 hours.

Having you around at my blog year was a big help to me!
I am so glad you were around this year, and that even if yo don't plan to BE A blogger, being AT blog sites all day is really awesome as well! Heck - I might even hire you to do some guest posting at incogblogo! If your rates are good!

Forget all that, I'm participating in Blogathon 2007!
After all, it's 1 day a year for good causes, and I have changed my work schedule to be able to spend quality time with my family more than just on the weekends now.
