As a few may have noticed, I have not posted for more than a week and want to assure my faithful readers that I have not been kidnapped by the CIA. Nor have they tried to silence me. Reports of my death have been slightly exaggerated.

I have been off the grid. Sometimes for mechanical reasons, but mainly because of a serious lack of technological savvy. I intend to resume my posts soon.  As I have said many times: life is hard when you are stupid.

I have been on a pitifully short meandering  jaunt. I intended to go on a longer jaunt, but was cruelly curtailed by higher authorities who had no interest in my blog.  When I was summoned I was compelled to oblige. That is what authority is all about.  As Shakespeare said, “authority is a dog’s bark obeyed.”  And I obeyed.

I expect to post about the short trip soon.
