Housekeeping

So I FINALLY figured out that there's a way to let people post comments on here even if they don't have an account with Blogger. And it only took me, what, a year? Sorry. I do think I mentioned earlier, though, that the technical side of computers is by and large a mystery to me. I seriously considered naming this blog "The Technological Dunce," just to warn everyone what to expect, or rather what not to expect, from me. (I STILL haven't figured out how to create a blogroll.)

So anyway, I've made the necessary arrangements; you may post away if you're so inclined. I apologize, though, that you'll have to take a simple test first to prove to the system that you're a human being. I figured out how to get that going as well, to cut back on the spamming. Seemed easier and cheaper than putting up barbed wire to keep the little pests out.

Channeling Schroeder

A very happy birthday to my favorite composer. (I tried to find one of those Schroeder-playing-Beethoven strips to link to -- you wouldn't believe how hard they are to find!) Two hundred thirty-five years old, and he's still not showing his age. :-)

"But you should know . . ."

". . . that not everyone is on the same side politically."

Good Lord, what a great line. Demolishes the Stepford mentality of the PC crowd in one simple sentence that can be said with a polite smile. Why didn't I ever think of this? I usually just splutter incoherently instead. I don't always agree with Cathy Seipp, but props to her for this one.
