Thanks everyone for the comments! I did just want to clarify, in reaction to SD’s comment, that when I talk about reducing posting frequency I’m mainly talking about cutting out the daily link roundups I tried doing for a couple of weeks, and probably one weekend post. It just seemed like everything was getting rushed off the ‘front page’ so to speak. But it’s a nice compliment!

I always enjoy your blog, so I will admit that I will miss your less frequent posts. However, if you’re trying to improve the writing quality, I totally understand (even though it’s not something I stress on my blog).

Once again, thanks for the great selection of articles from other blogs.

Wow! You’ve been quite busy! I have to thank you for the mentions, I so appreciate it. Also, your post “Myth of a Parent” rings so true. I am a mother who is in the same position as your wife and now we’ve made the decision that I am staying at home. In actuality, I’ll be “working from home”, which will find me probably even more productive than ever doing stuff I’d prefer to do. It’ll be a “tough” couple of years in my mind since while this is happening, my husband is trying to get a new company started so we’ll see in the next few months how things play out. I’m willing to take a risk for now since health and kids are my highest priorities right now and stress has been overwhelming. A break is needed. Time to slow down for a bit and take things in stride. There is higher monetary risk but nevertheless, we find it worth taking at this juncture.

Thanks for writing the guest post!

I slightly slowed down the frenetic posting schedule to give the guest posts some extra time in the limelight. I let go of the posting OCD a little bit just for you.

Hey, you changed layout again when I was gone! Looks nice.

It quite impresses me that you can produce good content for other blogs as well as this one. I eat breakfast any morning I go to the gym. On one embarassing occasion I didn’t have time, and passed out on the train at 7am. I woke up to find twelve New Rochelle firemen looking down at me. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. (Also, if you plan on passing out, I recommend you do it on the Metro North. Apparently there are lots of doctors living in Westchester). But otherwise it’s just usually a nice cuppa. My brother got married this weekend, and we had him and his buddies slurping down fried breakfasts every morning at my parents’ house. Black puddign and all! I don’t know where they put it, they’re slim guys.

Thanks for the link. And there are more than enough zombies to go around…why not let Grandma lend a hand by whacking the undead in Resident Evil?

Thanks for the link BB. It’s great that you and your wife go out from time to time. I would definitely spend on a nice night out. I’ll make all the sacrifices needed for the sake of frugality but one thing I would never do is neglect the relationship with my wife for the sake of saving. I’m sure those nights out are very nice and you get husband points

Thanks for the mention! Great minds think alike as I just wrote about your article from the festival on my site.
