Hello? This is the blog author. Can I help you?

Oh, I'm sorry. We're still working out the kinks. Everything after your choice of  "Three", for an infuriating blog post, actually was the blog post.

Yes, I understand you intended to select "Two.", but the system does not allow me to restart from here. If you go back to the start of this blog post, it should function correctly.

Thank you for your patience.

  1. Infuriating! At least you could have piped some music into that blank space.
    No Bob Dylan, please, have mercy!

    1. I'm sorry it didn't go more smoothly for you. Would some very very light jazz be okay for the blank space music?

    2. Ooops! Sorry, I thought you chose option "2" again!

      I love your idea for some John Cage. That seems absolutely perfect. I have set 4'33" to play now in the blank space. Enjoy!

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
