Are you with me so far? Good.
To borrow from, paraphrase, and bastardize Mark Twain (or was it Sam C.?), I’m here to say that rumors of my preoccupation with my rankings have been greatly exaggerated, or exacerbated—your choice. I know that if I don’t have anything good to say I shouldn’t say anything at all. Isn’t that right?...

Okay, what’s going on here?
I blog my little heart out then I’m away for a mere sixteen days and my rating drops to, what, 1410? Somebody throw me a line. I’m sinking here. I’ve tried schmoozing, I’ve tried schleezing, I’ve tried sneezing (okay, that was from the dust on my keyboard). Anyhow, ya gotta feel bad for me. It’s...

Schmoozing.
Okay, now I get it. In order to stomp the hell out of Ariala and burst onto the scene as the King of Blogging what I need to do is schmooze. (I wish I could remember who gave this sage advice a week or two ago; all I can say is that I did read her—I think ‘her’—post.) How’m I doin’ so far? This is...

That's gonna leave a mark.
Well, it's a done deal. The vice grips are gone but not forgotten and there's a shiny new knob in their place. I went with Ca88andra’s suggestion and forwarded the suggestion to you-know-who(m). The individual (you know who) who ended up being the brunt of this whole escapade wanted to wing the...

News Flash!--This just in:
I’ve received word from a source in the upper echelon of the High Council on Space and Time that the Second* has been vindicated in proceedings that just finished only moments ago. On the condition of anonymity the source has reported that—in an unprecedented assembly of the Council for a special...

Domestic problems, continued . . .
Just a gentle reminder that the suggestion box is still open and it’s early yet. Please be forewarned, though, that as the hour of desperation nears, the whining and begging and shameless pleading may build to an almost unbearable crescendo. It's happened before. Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to...

Domestic problems.
It’s a hell of an awkward segue, I know, but while we’re all waiting on the edge of our seats for that scandalous update on the second I’m wondering if you’d be willing to help me with a troubling problem. (No further word yet, incidentally, on the second. I did make a call yesterday, though. After...

Okay. I have to retract everything
—everything I said about the second in my previous post, that is. This new development is prompted by a call I just received from a Guy who turns out to be something of a luminary in His field. After presenting His credentials He pointed out to me that my whole diatribe was based on a simple...

High velocity verbosity
There's no time to explain. I've lots of ideas and very little time. (Or is it that I have lots of time and very little ideas?) At any rate, does it seem to you that there's a definite weirdness to time itself? I mean, if you really think about it, what is it anyway? Einstein didn't even know. Take...

I’ve been a pseudo-intellectual for a long time now.
It’s fun. For example, quite a few years back I learned the rudiments of astronomy* while having an exhaust system and brakes replaced on my car at a service chain. The textbook I’d studied from was one I’d bought in the bargain basement at the university in my home state. I sat in the...
