What you're interpreting as incomprehension is actually just a bad attitude.

I have been doing the kind of blog reading where you unhinge your jaw and gorge yourself on years' worths of archives. Read backwards and thus forwards. Following projects (for these are knit blogs) from beginning to end, frogging and gauge disasters and all, until the project is successfully modeled or mysteriously never spoken of again. This is not a bad way to spend five hours of your day.

We took the dogs to the park this evening, and played the game where we saunter off in different directions and then take turns hiding from the dog, Jane, who runs herself ragged looking for us. Once in about every 20 times, she'll miss you and go flying past where you're crouched among the trees and unusual leaves and you get to see her in all her nose-to-the-ground doggie intensity, running like a racehorse.

Those moments make up for all the time she spends chewing on her feet.
