Maybe not so "only"

So it would seem that my comments in my previous post about it possibly being the only installment of the Chronicles that I would ever write were incorrect. In fact, I set this site up so that I could update you all without spamming everyone. Of course, it will now be up to you to check for updates, but there's nothing I can do about that. Well, that's not exactly true. Because I am so generous, I've provided an Atom feed that you can subscribe to, if you're down with the whole syndication thing. If you're not, you can just check back here from time to time.

There are a few things I should tell you about this site, as well as a few questions inspired by The Week That Things Changed that I should answer. I will do so in the ever-popular question and answer format:

Why in the world did you create this site?
When I wrote the email about shaving my goatee, I received a surprisingly large number of emails requesting more of the Chronicles. I also received a surprisingly small number of requests to be removed from my mailing list. So those of you who would rather read about my boring life than think about your own boring or exciting lives are welcome to whenever you like.

You keep calling it a site, but it's really a blog isn't it?
I suppose this is technically a blog, but I doubt I'll update it enough to be a real blogger. I certainly can't imagine being as prolific as Lawton's sister. Still, I can already hear one person saying, "Now Abs is in the blogosphere." "Blogosphere" is a very important word to this person. You know who you are.

Do you really think people want to read about your life?
Umm, no. At least I didn't until some of you clamored for more. Truth be told, I'm sure it was less the story and more the powerful prose and bons mots in my message that left you aching for more. Nonetheless, we aim to please.

Why didn't you include a picture with your email about shaving the goatee? And why don't you have one on this page?
The reasons are many. When I sent out that email, there were as yet no new pictures of me without the goat. Those of you who knew me before I shaved it can probably look at some old pics to get an idea. Those of you who don't are completely SOL. As of right now, there exist a few pics of me with the smooth chin, but none of them are really worth crowing about. Finally, I think you should make an effort to see me in person if you want to experience baby-faced Abs. I feel sure it's been too long anyway.

When you shaved your goatee, did you find more than one chin?
Ha, ha. Very funny. Yes, I'm chubby. Thanks for noticing. Of course, I prefer to be thought of as sexy chubby, but there's no getting away from the chubby part. I was quite curious as to how the chin(s) would look sans goat, and I was happy that there didn't appear to be 2 of them. However, there is definitely more chin material there than I would like, and it shows up when I position my head in certain unflattering ways. So I can't claim to have the ideal 1.0 chins. I think what I'm really dealing with right now is about 1.5 chins.

My God you babble! Do you ever shut up?
Sadly for you, no. But I will wrap this up, because it's getting out of control. To sum up: new blog, less spam, bons mots, no good pictures, 1.5 chins, sexy chubby.
