Google Blogs are mightily misbehaving


Coach Iris sent me a distressing note that she couldn't post a comment on my last post.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Look at that WEIRD tail that appeared on the end of the line above.

Google! What's going on?

Hold on while I text Sergey Brin in Mountain View.

He said he's unavailable, inconsolable about losing the bid for Skype.

I suggest if anyone wants to post a comment - and please do! - save it before you attempt to "preview" or "post it."

Nothing is as frustrating as losing the words you worked so hard to compose.

Reminds me of the author of The Book of Numbers. Robert Deane Phar, if I remember correctly, left his entire ms. on a train seat and had to write the entire book again.

Anyway, I'm gonna post Iris's comment below and in the comments.

Let's see if my nonexistent telepathic relationship w/ Sergey does any good.

IRIS:

I want to encourage you about the novel. Hard to be rejected but what do they know anyway? Keep at it if this is what you want to do. I mostly stopped submitting things as I don't have the patience or motivation but every so often I do. Expecting something to be published soon on an online mag and maybe one other thing but not sure.

That is an amazing coincidence (or not?) about the man who taught Simon. Life is incredible sometimes.

The gathering of souls and stories at the kidney clinic sounds worth it just to go to meet these folks and hear these tales. (No, I take that back. I won't go. I'll skip it.)

Motorcycles...I hate them myself. Had a few rides in my teens, got it out of my system and that's that.

With your back pain I can see why you would consider the surgery. Are you going for a role as bionic woman? No, just kidding. I have had my back pain again for a couple of days--doing some dreaded cleaning and it got aggravated and mine comes and goes and doesn't sound as bad as yours has been. I know you will welcome the relief when you are ready for this and hope it works really well.

Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. Wow!

Got to run.

The weather is gorgeous here. (CT) Hope it is there too. We are expecting some company from your neck of the woods!
