During my troubles with “G” earlier this week and my brief wrongheaded thoughts of abandoning WordPress (until I learned the details of what had happened, and that it was NOT WP’s fault, so I’m staying), which I wrote about yesterday, on the spur of the moment I created a Tumblr. I’m gonna keep it as … More Yes, Finally, Instagram
…and in saying that I don’t mean moved here to Tenerife permanently. I’m referring to having almost stopped posting to this web site. In preparation to do so, I had already created a new blog home over at Tumblr: Why? Because I’d had certain “technical difficulties” since Tuesday.
