Like the self-centered person that I am, I've neglected reader comments. I stink. Google changed the interface. Where I used to be emailed when there was a comment to check, that is no longer so. Out of inbox, out of mind.
And so I apologize, especially to Authors 4 Characters who has been tireless in observations and annotations.
Over the coming weeks, I will respond to the bulk of the remarks.
Henceforth, I vow to be a more thoughtful blog lord.
Unless Google messes again with the algorithms.
