Day 69 - A blog about "nothing".


Today I agreed to write the blog about a day in which we did nothing (apologies to the great Larry David for my paraphrasing).

PHIL: Angela, I think I can sum up today for our Blog with one word: NOTHING.

ANGELA: Nothing?

PHIL: (Smiling) Nothing.

ANGELA: (Unimpressed) What does that mean?

PHIL: Today's blog is about nothing. You see, it's just like life. You know, you eat, you go shopping, you read.. You eat, you read, You go shopping.

ANGELA: All right, tell me, tell me about the stories. What kind of stories?

PHIL: Oh, no. No stories.

ANGELA: No stories? So, what is it?

PHIL: Well for example, what'd you do today?

ANGELA: I got up and sat down to work.

PHIL: There's our blog. That's a blog.

ANGELA: (Confused) How is that a blog? Does something happen while I am working?

PHIL: No, no, no. Nothing happens.

ANGELA: Well, why would anyone read it?

PHIL: Because it's in the blog.

ANGELA: (Threatening) Not yet.

Eventually Angela capitulated so I am going to write about nothing.
