A
great deal has happened in the last 72 hours. I will eventually
get to it all. But in the mean time you should know that this is
National De-Lurking Week according to Sheryl. I’d link you to
Sheryl, but my linking ability with the WYSIWYG editor is on the
fritz. Why? Well, that would require me explaining the last
72 hours. Let’s just say it has to do with the Devil and the Matrix and Terrorism and The Beancounter, Pam talking me off a ledge.
I’d link Pam, but again, I can’t. And that’s all I’m going to say on the topic for the moment.

Instead,
I’m going to alert you to the button on the left and point out that it,
unlike the words Sheryl and Pam above, IS LINKED. And it will
take you to Darling Sheryl’s site that tells you all about de-lurking
and the health benefits associated with it.

Should you
choose to join the movement you will notice (or not…) that the
comment option on this page has changed slightly. You now have an option to
put your name into the name box where the word guest stands in as a proxy. If you don’t put your name in, your comment will be logged in as said guest. I wanted the proxy name to be asshole— but IZ
is of the opinion that you might not take kindly to be called
asshole. He might have a point–as it probably wouldn’t engender
loyalty or prompt you to comment. And, being that it is National
De-Lurking Week, encouraging you comment comes at a hefty cost.

I
certainly hope you will avail yourself of this opportunity to de-lurk
and actually comment for once. For starters, you can try begging
for information about the past 72 hours. You never know, that and
enough wine I might just relent and tell all. Or you can tell me
that I’m mean and grumpy and hormonal and need help. Or you can
be obtuse and philosophical. Or leave touchy-feely crap about your life
write about your feelings. I promise not to mock you. Too
much. Whatever–this is your moment to shine. Wow me with
your brilliance.

UPDATE: IZ fixed the linking!
