So Much Stuff I Can't Recall

About Tuesday's Entry

A couple of my dozen or so regular readers have asked me why I repeated my cruise rant on Tuesday. Well, the story goes like this...

Over on the Faith*in*Fiction message boards, a couple people shared they had won $200 in a share-your-rant-with-us contest at Everyday Hogwash. Initially word had been that the contest would be accepting entries through the end of March. Then it turned out that the final day for entries was the 28th ... the same day I found out that it was the final day. So I posted my hastily revamped cruise rant. According to my stats only three visitors came directly via the Permalink (one from Oklahoma, I believe, the others from New York and Florida).

I didn't win (which is not altogether surprising).

Now the site has gone dead for a couple days, despite the 7th weekly $1,000 winner not yet having been named -- or even voted on.

Ironically, the contest was sponsored by a new "we're not like the other guys" phone company. Seems to me they may be right, but not in a good way.
