Meanwhile, I will be in the kitchen, working on the copy edits, as quickly as possible.\u00a0 Alas, not writing new blog posts.\u00a0 Or stories.\u00a0 Or anything but copy edit checking.<\/p>\n
There was a DoS attack on the servers holding my stuff, so the sites were down for awhile yesterday but are back up.\u00a0 Although this site thinks it’s new and I haven’t posted here before.\u00a0 Odd.\u00a0 It’ll learn.\u00a0 The other blogs may be the same but I don’t have time to check them all today.\u00a0 One per day is the most I can give them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
