Julie, I don't meet your demographic
but I have to say you did a good job of getting people talking again!
I think there is a natural waxing and waning of posts. I saw that traffic was down and tried to think of a tread to start(other than my self-congratulatory one), but came up blank. I'm way behind on posting on my blog too, so who knows -- spring fever? (in those places where spring is actually showing signs of arriving -- apologies to the antipodes) March madness? (for the U.S. college basketball fans), getting ready for easter/spring break? phase of the moon? who knows!
