• The last blog probably deserves an explanation.  It is all the result of being a floundering newbie to the Xanga thing.  I wanted to send a comment to LMF’s latest creative blog, but this time I wanted to explore new vistas and add a smiley .  I fired up the xTools editor, wrote my wit, and clicked submit.  Eventually I realized that I had succeeded only in posting a new, out of context, meaningless blog on my site.  In a flurry of computereze panic I flipped back and forth between sites, scrolled up and down, and finally invoked the edit function….so, now what?   I deleted my LMF comment and was left with a blank edit screen.  The image that popped into my head was the OZ “wizard” behind the curtain flailing away at his controls, spinning wheels, pulling levers; all in a pitiful, futile attempt to maintain his illusion of being “great and powerful” (that would be me).  Thus, you glimpsed an example of the flashing imagery that constantly takes control of my countenance at the most inopportune times, usually resulting in a silly grin that others can only wonder at the origins.
