Many moons ago — before Facebook became open to the general public, when “twitterpated” was still a Bambi and not a social networking reference, and before YouTube made movie stars out of all of us — I started a blog.

At the same time, I said I thought I’d probably have last week’s series for you this week. I don’t. I received a proof [...]
