…is a fascinating and priceless literary and cultural treasure. Filling the years 1919-1938, it is a neat autobiography of his (and Zelda’s) professional output and earnings. The whole thing is now available on-line. Go there, go there now! It is a first-class time-waster worth every second.

Our Internet is functioning again. I repeat: our Internet is functioning again! Please bear with me as I try to manipulate my professional life back to some kind of recognizable order. It might take a few days. Thank you for your patience. My readers are the best readers. Don’t even try to deny it, lovelies. This is how I feel right now, in no small part because of you…
A Gaiety Girl, 1893.
A very nice technician was able to restore our cable feed, but the goblins foiled his many heroic efforts to fix our Internet problem. The prognosis? It should be up and running by Monday afternoon. I could cry. I am going to drown my sorrows in the sweet satisfactions of a UK Kit Kat bar and a few pages of Shaw.
The Internet Goblins still have the upper hand, but not for long: everything will be fixed on Friday. I cannot wait to wholeheartedly re-join the WordPress community with deeper quality content than what I’ve been able to post these last few days. Thanks for hanging in there, dear readers. You are the best!
This is how I feel after 5 days without Internet access.
