Delightful discoveries
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
__ First drafts
__ Silly
__ Unfinished
__ Borderline plagiarized from someone else
__ Borderline plagiarized from myself
xx 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
So in this race against time to write these 20 blog posts while maintaining, I should say, a minimum standard of Internet quality I have made some wonderful discoveries:
1. The Internet minimum standard is wildly surpassed the moment I merely glance lazily in its direction.
2. Even though I was worried my stickied introduction wouldn't actually help me come up with things to write about, it turns out all I have to do is check off a couple of boxes in my stickied introduction and the posts practically write themselves.
3. You are all amazing!

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.
