Blogger, the program that hosts sites such as this, and saves many of us from the mind-numbing grief of HTML code, has just gone public with a new version. Seems only right that we should commemorate the occasion by tweaking the look of this page a bit.
It's all cosmetic. Nothing has really changed. Your humble blogger is just as erratic in his publishing frequency as before. His pet peeves continue to annoy him. His hardened opinions seem just as stubbornly compelling to him as always. His sense of humor sometimes arrives unbidden when it should instead be forbidden.
But life allows us to remake ourselves now and then, or at least it affords us the opportunity to create the illusion. It can get serious--some folks, for example, engage an expensive plastic surgeon in the quest to hold back aging, or rather the visible effects of aging. It's important for some, I guess, to look young in their coffin.
I'm not too worried about any of that. What will be will be.
But a little change in color, a different font, a rearrangement of the pieces? Maybe a minor freshening of the appearance here and there will spawn some fresh ideas worthy of our time and effort.
And if not, some of you who pass through here from time to time will at least be able to say, "Doesn't he look good? It's almost like he's just sleeping."
