Here's the thing.

Kiddies, we know it's been slow around here. We were out of town for a few days and we returned to some bad news, indeed. So, right now, it's (un)fortunately kind of hard for us to focus on the NB. We'll be updating The Blair Necessities as much as we can, and we'll try to pop in here and there, so don't give up on us completely. We just need some time to get some actual work did.

To keep abreast of all things inconsequential, visit our friend Rich. Or Frank. Or April. Or play a round of Deal or No Deal. Did you know all the Deal or No Deal girls have bios? Or that the Banker has a blog? Well, they do and he does. It's true.

Most of all, please search for "Lisa Whelchel" on Google and click on The Blair Necessities as many times as you can stomach. We're not asking to actually read the site. We'd never do that. We just want it to be as close to the top of the first page as possible. Right now it's sixth. Not bad, but we can do better. All of us. Together.
