As my connection has been what I call a dead connection* for most of the day, my blogging has been lighter than usual. I apologize. For some reason, not being able to post has frazzled me beyond redemption. I am thinking of just calling it a day. Maybe I will dream up something really exciting for tomorrow.**
*dead connection: dialer shows I am connected but there is absolutely nothing being transferred over the line. Regrettably, my dialer on this system has been fragged since day one,*** and I have to reboot usually to get it to disconnect so that I can attempt a new connection. Try doing this about a million times a day. You really get tired of hearing that damn Windows has loaded sound.
**I usually do!
***It probably serves me right for buying a computer at Wal-Mart.
