I did something totally unlike myself: kept my cool, investigated, tried, tried again. It worked. But they do have some junk in their trunk. 6 weeks ago, I'd have sought you out. Now I'm just time jammed and a little distracted, so I like the knock on the door in the sidebar. But never, ever be afraid to knock loudly at me and say "Where the hell ARE you? I have spoken and you should answer!"Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-3660873044846924812011-09-06T17:16:43.779-07:002011-09-06T17:16:43.779-07:00i think he went to heaven, if such a place exists....i think he went to heaven, if such a place exists.<br />thanks for this.<br />oh yeah, blogger is definitely screwed. may as well roll with it.rrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457746929116908077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-81811372839899579982011-09-06T14:33:54.358-07:002011-09-06T14:33:54.358-07:00Williams also illustrated The Cricket on Times Squ...Williams also illustrated The Cricket on Times Square.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-62429772763403453882011-09-06T14:26:20.335-07:002011-09-06T14:26:20.335-07:00I put the post immediately preceding this one--Nic...I put the post immediately preceding this one--Nick Ashford's obituary--back into "draft". I figured anyone who's going to read it has read it by now. That did the trick. As you said, this particular post finally popped up on the blogrolls. I shouldn't HAVE to do that, mind you, but I couldn't wait forever for Blogger to solve the problem, or even acknowledge there IS a problem.<br /><br />Strange thing, though. Even though it's dated September 2, four days ago, it popped up at the TOP of your blogroll. I'm not complaining, of course, but it shows you how fucked up things are with Blogger.<br /><br />My sisters used to read the Little House books. Every now and then I'd pop open one of their books and see what was going on with Laura and co. Trivia note: Garth Williams, who illustrated Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, also illustrated the Little House books, though in a slightly different style. William's Papa Ingalls looked nothing like Michael Landon. He was a bald and had a beard!Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-57136967681018603472011-09-06T14:02:46.491-07:002011-09-06T14:02:46.491-07:00OH, Kirk, it does please me to see you appearing i...OH, Kirk, it does please me to see you appearing in my sidebar again. I am so busy trying to maintain a bit fuller life, I can use ringing bells and visual reminders. What a great snippet of Twain and Huck Finn to select. Mike's right. I need to return there soon. One summer (likely 10 or 11 years ago now) Amber and I both read through the entire Little House series. Not great literature, but good reading. I believe it meant more to me at 48 or 49 than it did to her at 10 or 11. I own the books!Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-32938129463177850072011-09-06T13:23:32.813-07:002011-09-06T13:23:32.813-07:00You enjoy the weekend, too, Mike.
