Pardon my dust

This is a semi-private blog in that I don't care who reads it, but I don't solicit followers.  That being said, if you're a follower, thanks!  But also, I'm sorry.  I decided to compile my ancient blog into this one so I added about 50 posts today and if you get notified when I make new posts, you may have been emailed repeatedly.  Ooooops!  Thanks for your understanding.
