You, lucky readers, are in for a treat.

It’s Q&A time here at the ol’ blog. Every week, I get deluged with questions from all of you about things in my life, and things I’ve written about here. Okay, well, not deluged, but I do get occasional questions. So, here goes:

Q: Why do you blog? – Several of you have asked at some time or another

A: It’s the classic American answer, really. Because it’s there, and because I can. It’s sort of an ultimate ego boost but at the same time a great release to just let my mind run free adn say things that I probably wouldn’t otherwise.

Q: These regular characters in the blog: your wife, kids, cat, other family and FDS…Are they all real? – Okay, that was only asked once, and that was a long time ago.

A: Yes, they’re all real. I wouldn’t have much to write about without them.

Q: FDS stands for what? – I’ve been asked that at different times in the last year

A: FDS, aka my shrink, er, therapist, is Frau Doktor Shrinkenminder. Briefly, she was known as Herr Doktor Shrinkenminder, but then it was pointed out by both my wife and the good doctor that she was, in fact, female. I thought it was funnier to be Herr Doktor, but she disagreed. Can’t see why…

Q: And she really reads the blog?

A: Yup. Or at least she says she does, and reads enough to know some of what I put in there, and what’s been going on in the time between our sessions.

Q: Where do you find the time? – Asked by friends and a few family members

A: I just set aside a good half hour or so at the end of the day to do it. Most days, I look forward to the time. Some days, when I’m just out of ideas or tired, I dread it.

Q: Did you know natural male enhancement will satisfy your woman? – unsolicited e-mail spam

A: Lessee, I cook, do the laundry, dishes, do other domestic duties, and help support her through school. I think she’s probably pretty satisfied and any enhancement on my part probably wouldn’t add anything to the mix. But thanks anyway for the offer.

Okay, then. That ends this week’s dip into the ol’ e-mail bag. Thanks for stopping by, all.

See you tomorrow.
