@farmerman,
I have long been fond of F. Bruni; not read him in a while since the Times' paywall .. I should at least click on him once a month or so.
Right now I can barely post, lost contact several times in weirdville - cheeze it, I'll be glad when my computer hell moves to the side (new one mid week or so, but arriving to a woman who is not used to microsoft any time recently). I'm still moderately fond of my long time iMac, enough that I won't easily trash it in the Albuquerque dump.
Maybe I can make earrings out of it..
