THE BLOG IS MOVING.
This will be the Final Post on the old blog. The Comments sections will stay open until 8:00 Eastern time tonight (5:00 Pacific).
You can continue to get your blog fixes throughout the night, if indeed there are people out there who like to re-read old blog items that they've already read. Which we would rather not know about.
If you come back here after 3:00 Eastern (noon Pacific time) tomorrow, the blog will have a fresh new face and a new URL.
All old blog items, comments, categories, and bloglits (we hope) will be transferred to the new site. (We aren't posting the URL because there's nothing there; the next time you come here you will automatically be redirected.)
More details are below.
Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

What? What? Judi! Were you abducted in the midst of blogging?

more likely its a test to see how many of us idiots will comment on nothing

Wow, I was able to post 1st and 7th with one click of the mouse!

Is this a test to see how many posts it takes for a one-syllable word to become the source of lewd comments?

I bet I just double-posted, although I have yet to see even a single post of mine.
Nonetheless, I apologise in advance.

I would like to apologise for the previous apology. This apology was in error and completely unnecessary. It occured due to an administrative error.
I'm sorry.

Oh... Now that there's actually TEXT there instead of just a headline it's not nearly as exciting.
However, point taken.
See ya'll on the flip-side.

Posted by: MrDeath | July 29, 2005 at 03:05 PM
amazing grace on the bagpipes is for funerals - this occassion requires something with a little more panache - like belching the words to amazing grace - or maybe amazing grace on the armpit
Posted by: TCK | July 29, 2005 at 03:07 PM
Catch y'all on the flip side. May the journey to the new blog be swift, free of glitches and random snakes, and foot loose and fancy free.

Maybe they're delaying it one more hour because there's been some kind of technical glitch?

Well, we all know how this blog has a problem with the clock...why should this be any different?
Posted by: Graz | July 29, 2005 at 04:43 PM
Or maybe it was that we were supposed to stop commenting at 8 pm. and the "Fabulous ThunderTechs" are cursing each and everyone of us right now.

Is the blog moving, or is The Blog moving? Is he scouting for a home in Minnesota? I suppose one can blog from anywhere, and I further suppose that they have sporting events of some kind in MN for Mrs. Blog to report on, but it's still a lot to give up...
Miami Int'l. Airport and Drug Smuggling facility; Traffic Roulette; Hurricanes A through Z, annually; not to mention the need to lay in a supply of blue *flannel* shirts...
