As I was attempting to concoct a suitable topic for my newly established weekly blog, my amazing wife made a comment that gave me pause. To recreate the exact situation that I found myself in, I will quote the exchange which occured only a few minutes ago:
Julie: Have you done your blog yet?
Me: No. I need a good subject. I need a late-night rambling.
Julie: I'm not sure I like late-night ramblings.
Me: Why? Did you hate my last blog?
Julie: No.
Me: Then what's the matter?
Julie: You're not funny. It's not that great of a blog.
I am now faced with a rather disturbing accusation; I am an unfunny nerd (in retrospect, this may explain my lack of readership). Even my wife, who loves me to distraction and protects my fragile ego from earth shattering blows, finds me unfunny enough to mention it to my face. I, however, am not ready to accept this as gospel truth. I sometimes make people laugh and have been known to write a witty story from time to time. I am, therefore, going to put it to a vote. Am I funny, or am I writing jokes and stories that I am the only one laughing at? It is for you to decide. Give me your vote (on the side of the blog) and let me know!

Patrick, I think you're funny. I love reading about NY and med school. I also really enjoy reading about Julie's perspective on education in NYC. I am a random reader, so it's OK if you are a random writer. Just don't quit entirely.
Of course I think you are funny. what mother doesn't think her children are funny?
Patrick I think you are extremely amusing. I enjoy reading your ramblings and chuckle quite often. Keep on blogging.
My Christmas was awesome. The visit was great.
Love,
Debbie/mom
