A puzzle for you!







Stickied Introduction:


In order to prepare for a two week trip with my lovely wife to Rome it is necessary for me to write 20 blog posts ahead of time. I don't have a lot of time to do this. I'm not sure I actually have any time to do this. But I have made a sacred charter, somewhere, I think, that says I must post a new blog post everyday. So I wanted to put a stickied explanation of the desperation of my plight at the top of each of my next twenty blog posts.

I am hoping this will explain why my comments might be (checked (X) as appropriate):


__ Brief

__ Incoherent

xx First drafts

xx Silly

xx Unfinished

__ Borderline plagiarized from someone else

__ Borderline plagiarized from myself

__ Petty about the Internet

xx Pandering to the reader

__ Technically illegal in the country of Turkey

__ Ending abruptly

__ Too frank by half

__ Pretty much just the lyrics of some song I like

__ Actually a lot like any of my regular blog posts



This particular post is:

End of Stickied Introduction





Yes, I admit it. Things are getting a bit desperate. The plane leaves in mere minutes, 3,254 minutes as far as I can tell, but I have dozens of other things to do in that time besides writing these last five posts. So I checked four random boxes on my list above to help guide me along as I write here:

1. First draft

Okay, I promise I wont read ofer this and fix antything. Youll just have to trust me here!@


2. Silly

Sorry, I'm incapable of siiliness. I'm sure a gracious and perceptive reader such as yourself will easily forgive a minor transgression such as this small one.


3. Pandering to the reader.

I planned ahead.

Post a Comment

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.
