We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses

I am forced by the weaknesses of this world to reduce my formerly ambitious efforts. This blog reflected my moods and comments at various times so now must finally withdraw these ambitions to prosper other more pedestrian goals. 

Meanwhile, despite handicaps and without assistance, blog still continues to reach curious viewers from around the globe. At the moment, spanning the most recent seven days, 105 hits from the US; Portugal 6; Vietnam 4; and Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and British Virgin Islands one each. 

Cannot figure out how anyone finds the blog from so far around the world. It is not the number of them so much as the fact they come by from so far. I am not accepting comments because none get thru. I suppose because I am not in any way familiar with computers. 

It is an accomplishment to operate a computer but as with a auto, I am fortunate to drive the car, I don't know how to fix it. So fixing computer errors and is outside my OJT on the job training skills. 

My mention of my fondly remembered brush with Latin in school revealed there are those in the balcony here who are apparently far more familiar with Latin than I.

Hearsay usually defines gossip.

Wasn't it Kurt Vonnegut who used to say that's the way it goes? I strangely recall reading the Piano Player, in hardcover.
