I'm a Hollywood writer, so I put on a sports jacket and take off my brain. -- Ben Hecht

Photo?!

bonica-with-butterfly.jpgGood gods.  Don’t tell me this worked.    Without Cormac and everything.   Blogmom sent me instructions for posting photos . . . um . . . quite a while ago and I winced and looked away and then I thought in a self-exculpatory way, no, I have an IDEA, I’ll wait till Hannah and her lot get here, and I’ll make, I mean ask, Cormac to haul me through the process.  He’s a Tech Boy, he can do anything.  Maybe Tech Personhood is a tiny weeny stunted-microbially bit contagious???*  But they’re GONE and I MISS THEM** and I must have come all over funny or something, and I have to WRITE MY OWN BLOG TONIGHT and . . .  

         Wait.  Let’s see if it actually did work before I get too carried away. . . .

          . . . Yerp.  Well, it certainly seems to have worked.  Gosh.  Okay, I’ll go write the actual entry now.  It’ll be a little while.  I want to do the washing up first*** before I settle down with computer and chocolate.  Note that the secret to successful blogging is a reliable supply of chocolate. 

          And if anyone wanted to post and tell me that yes, there is a photo in this entry, even when seen from somewhere else on another computer, I would be grateful.  I will be positively pleased and thankful if the photo you’re seeing is furthermore of a pink rose with a butterfly on it.

* I WISH. 

** Aside, as previously observed, from their value as guest bloggers.  And while it’s true they’ll be back Friday, they REALLY LEAVE on Sunday morning and, you know, waaaaaaah.  

*** Yes, we’re still without a dishwasher.  Although I blithely say ‘I want to do the washing up,’ this will include wrestling a few falls with Peter who will say, No, no darling, let me do it.  You’re all swooning out there, right?  And saying, oh, I want one of those, does he have any brothers?  How good is the cloning process these days for the higher vertebrates?  Allow me to pour a little cold greasy water on your pleasant fantasy.  When I wash dishes, they get washed.  Comprenez?
