I forgot I had a Blogger account! Remember the lyrics to "Modern Major General" ? I never understood this first line to this phrase: " Then I can write a washing bill in Balylonic cuneiform And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform; In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral I am the very model of a modern Major-General" What the heck is a 'washing bill' ? https://www.reddit.com/r/gilbertandsullivan/comments/2o9vyu/an_actual_washingbill_in_babylonic_cuneiform / Gives us an image of one.

Computers can be such a pain in the wazoo. My netbook has crashed, so I'm redoing the whole shebang, spent 10 minutes waiting for it and now it tells me there's still an error. My laptop has screen issues so I'm hooked up to an external monitor, which is fine, but hard to take with me to write elsewhere. And my son's laptop is having issues as well. However, it seems to be recovering fine.... so far. Wish me luck (and lots of valium LOL) Alley the frustrated
I don't use this blog much, but it's useful to stay in touch with others. It's just not as easy to update as livejournal for me and i've got livejournal embedded in my own website, cool. Anyway, my latest article is up at Fort Worth Writing Examiner : Interview with Caryn Gottlieb FitzGerald Check it out. I get about a penny for every visitor to the webpage. Read em all!
