Yes, I'm online on a Saturday. Yes, as you know, that means something is not going well. It was the router. I now know how to change the router. Unfortunately, because I told the phone company the router appeared to be fried, they've disconnected the whole account until they can talk to the sponsor perself about replacing the router. This is intentional. They know that sponsors tend to be retired people, that retired people tend to spend winters in Florida, and that Florida snowbirds' idea of "winter" can easily extend into April...Yes, of course I've e-mailed the sponsor. Retired people tend to check their e-mail once or twice a year.
An emergency alternative may still allow the remaining Christmas book reviews to be posted before Christmas, though actually there's nothing immoral, illegal, or even fattening about buying cozy Christmas fiction after Christmas and giving it as gifts next year. Three prepaid Frugal Posts and four prepaid Moth Posts may be posted reasonably close to schedule, or may not.

Confirmation Bias
Obviously something is badly wrong with a lot of young people. Obviously that lot does not include my Nephews. Except, er well, we all know what happened to that poor dear child and nobody holds it against person, and anyway person is much more sensible than so many of the young. Poll fifty middle-aged people; I'd guess, just as a bet, forty to forty-five would say that. But here's a young person's brief reflection on a medical analysis of what's wrong with so many of the rising generation...
Well...most baby-boomers did not actually muck around with LSD, and those who did are still recognizable to some extent, but although I've never tried to learn how to smoke anything I do know what marijuana smells like. Most of us are not potheads. And most of the generation before us did not sedate their anxieties with "heavy tranx" (tranquillizers), but many did. Most, even of them, did not become the stereotypical twitching, hopelessly damaged, homeless Americans.
I don't know how or whether or how many young people can overcome the effects of Ritalin or Prozac or withdrawal from either--but I'm guessing that a substantial number of them will. Eventually.
