A sports writer based in Hoquiam, Wash. is stuck without an outlet to release his spleen on anything and everything. Life is full of upper-class twits and they need to be dealt with... Lemon Curry?
How do you explain to your wife what you wrote on your blog...

No formatting on this one. Just a straight post.

I've been known for getting into trouble with my wife by asking one simple question: "Hey, what's wrong?" Or better yet: "Are You OK?"
Late last week, I asked. And what I got was in to more hot water than I'd care to admit. My wife read my blog.
OK, not a big deal, really, but... "I just get the feeling that you won't talk to me," she said. "Why's that," I asked. (UH Oh!)
Then she told me that she read my blog about the wedding ring and about the recent deaths in the area and she now feels that I communicate better with you, the Internet community, than with her. (If you care to read what I wrote, the titles are "Meth-induced psychosis..." and "A tiny sense of hopelessness.")
To tell you the truth, she may be right. I'm a writer and I can type a whole lot faster and clearer coming out of my head than what comes out of my mouth. We, as a couple, talk a lot about everything. However, I got caught doing something that most husbands do and still get in trouble for --- not saying something to protect the one you are saying it to. Common mistake, but I made it worse by putting it here before I told it to her.
Ouch.
She still feels bad about the ring. No matter the incantations "St. Anthony, St. Anthony...," the complete turning upside down of everything in the house (three times) and searching, the ring is gone.
Now what? Well, I'm still blogging (see...) and I'm still talking to her. So that's something. But just because I'm writing here doesn't mean that I can't share with her what I'm thinking. A lesson learned. (Hi, dear!)

Has anyone else gotten into trouble for blogging or for what they blogged?

Tell her to try St. Jude as well.

I haven't gotten in trouble yet, but then I haven't posted anything that sensitive yet. Now, if some of my friends went poking around on my hard drive, I might have some explaining to do.

I did, I did!!! If you read my blog about internet dating you'll see. Basically I wrote about an upcomming internet date I had and she managed to find it (innocently,m not in the psycho way) before we even met up.

I am also like you in that it's much easier and clearer to scribe my thoughts than speak them. Sometimes when I speak about serious things I either pull punches to save somoene's feelings, or the other exteme...hurt them without intending to. For some reason when I write things generally come out the way I mean them the first time.
