To all of my readers (and you know who you are) that check out my posts only occasionally, remember to click on the “home” tab above the post’s title when you are done reading it. This will show all the postings that have happened while you were away doing something truly important. When you click the link in your email that I send you notifying you of a new posting you are taken to the page of that day’s post but you don’t see all the other postings that were published while you were gone, that is unless you go to the home page. I know, I know, it sounds nuts that someone wouldn’t read the blog every day but things happen. You get in a fight with your sister, you can’t find your computer, you get divorced, you have to paint your toenails, you have to get your truck out of the impound lot, lots of important stuff happens that might cause you to skip a day but you want to be able to see what you’ve missed, don’t you? Sure you do, so remember, read the new post then go to the home page to check if you’ve missed anything and you’re done for the day. You’re happy, I’m happy and all is right with the world.

Oh, and one more thing. If you enjoy the blog, or you just want to inflict this misery on others, please, please, please (always beg in triplicate) pass this fount of wisdom, creativity, mass mayhem, unusual use of photons and the written word, on to whomever you think might take the bait I mean enjoy it. We need readers and subscribers desperately if we’re ever going to be taken seriously by the New York Times and you and only you can help us. So spread the word, we need dozens if not millions of new readers, now, and we’re not fooling. Help us readers, it’s your civic duty. Thank you and may Goodness descend upon you like a huge fuzzy comforter filled with warm little squiggly things that make you feel good. P.S. also tell them to subscribe, they’ll feel better about this whole thing and so will I.
