Why People Still Won't Let Me Babysit

A coworker of mine was out of the office for a few days chaperoning a field trip to Coloma, mostly noted for being the first place gold was found in California. Here is an actual conversation we had upon his return:

Me: How was your trip?
Coworker: Awesome, but I'm tired now. 
Me: Did you find millions in gold? 
Coworker: No, but I met a lot of great kids.
Me: ...can you trade the kids for gold? 

Stop looking at me like that, you're just mad you didn't think of it first.

Hi. Just came across your blog by chance and I very much enjoy your posts. Seeing as there hasn't been an update in some time, you may not see this, but it would be awesome if you kept writing.

Now it's 2016 and I got here via http://www.randomwebsite.com/ Your style of writing made me linger a little too long. Then I noticed the date... Now I'm wondering what happened to you. Quandary is the word that comes to mind - I want to keep reading your easy style but... the other word for quandary is fucked. I'm fucked if I am going to read through your old blogs. But I think I am. Talk about asking for it! And what happens when I've read them all? Now I'm feeling fear! What kind of pussy am I to drop a blog that's several years old for fear that I might find out you've left the planet. Or maybe that would be closure, at least, sadly. But maybe you just dropped your computer. It's going to be far worse for me to read your stuff and get no closure. You are so interesting. I'm frightened. I didn't know I could be such a pussy. Thanx.
