Yesterday (my birthday): Most of the day - at least ten hours of it, trying to work out this web log’s presentation. I erased Amateur Alligator Wrestling Association. I will get back to that, after all, the good people that wrestle amateur alligators need a home - I claim the name anyway: a future and separate project.

Which is the point: I’m spending far too much time on this fiddling (learning I suppose, and necessary) with software and setup things that I’m getting behind schedule with more basic stuff:

• To Jean Lauzier and the Book Tour next month, this week should get the material together, more I hope.
• Back to WVU: and the MFA Short Story, specially to Grumps, Raven and Susan F of the Sisu
• Tales of Chestamovarado : A collection of my short stories; I’ve postponed this far too long. Begun ten years ago - ten? Good Grief !. I wanted to develop the first of them with WVU/MFA classrooms… They must be at week sixteen there by now, or more.
• The ongoing commentary on what I’m learning from the WorPress WordCamp Dallas videos, just rough draughts for now.
• The biggest nuisance of all is getting this property finished: the legal stuff (get the deed, register with Municipality and Revenue ) and settling outstanding issues with architect, condo tax, real estate and value.
• Whatever.

I doubt I’m the first that has found that getting ‘online’ can be frustrating and exasperating, more so when one starts out as a net newt nitwit.

There are advertisements appearing on this page, which I’m not seeing (I get them when I’m on another computer). If they are too intrusive and don’t produce much by way of income (!), they will have to go. Comments, as always, most welcome.
