Question for Other Bloggers
10:00 a.m. – Are you familiar with the impatient weight in your fingers when you have a post “copy” to “paste” but have nowhere to paste it? And what did you do with your time when you couldn’t get on the blogger.com site all of last night and so far all morning to post today’s entry? I cleaned off my desk (or made a dent in it) and sent in an essay submission to “The Sun” magazine. If my submission is successful, should I thank blogger.com for being unreliable? What nice things might have happened to you, due to the fact that the server is down? P.S. If this keeps up, I may even get started on my foster care quarterly reports for my…you know…that other thing called a job.
11:00 a.m. – Hey and Hooray, I just set up an appointment with our local pubic radio station (I’m too nervous right now to remember what it’s called…begins with a W) to read one of my essays for hopeful airing later. If this keeps up maybe I should hope that the blogger.com site is down all day tomorrow too.
12:00 p.m. – Driving home from town on Tuesday, after taking my regular turn onto the Blue Ridge Parkway, I heard something that I thought was someone running a chainsaw, somewhere off in the woods. By Wednesday, when I drove to my local satsang, I realized that the faint chainsaw sound was coming from under my hood. Hoping it’s not the timing belt, I just arranged a ride to drive me home from Gene’s Auto Shop. Will the server be back up and running, when I get home in a few hours? Or is everything destined to be broke?
P.S. I finally got on 1:00….reality time…and not the virtual time it says below.

Well Congrats! Let’s see if we can wrest the mic from those from “off”–the ones who send in canned essays and can’t even hear them on their radios they live so far away. Keep WVTF LOCAL! Sorry. I sort of pounded on my desk there and woke the dog.
Should be an interesting experience–the recording that is. Let me give you some pointers (which you’ve probably already heard me talk about, but now it’s up close and personal!)

Hey Col, I know about waiting to blog. Glad it finally happened!
And I know about “faint chainsaw sound,” glad it was coming from under your hood and not in your ears.
Good job once again.
