N.B. I make this with the usual disclaimers and suggestions – that is to say, I know this post is being made well after the fact (8 months afterward, in fact), the letter is written based upon what I remember … Continue reading

Thirty in thirty 2009 – #6: Dear CNN…

Thirty in thirty 2009 – #5: Limited headspace

Thirty in thirty 2009 – #2: When you have another one…

Thirty in thirty 2009 – #1: My blog needs re-seeding and just a little weeding.
Warning: To those who may read to the end, I have not gone back on my word, so chill. This’ll make sense to anyone it needs to. So… my blog is starting to look like our backyard in Denver before … Continue reading
Thirty in thirty – the 2009 almost-guaranteed-to-fail version
So. A long time ago, I tried to do this thirty posts in thirty days nonsense. I think I made it to about day seven before giving up, and since I’m even more of a bloggoslackifier ((tm) GWB, I’m sure) … Continue reading
