Blogging into a parallel universe

I really didn't need this. w.bloggar, you bastard! If I weren't so tired, I'd use much more colorful language. But the sad truth about cussing is that it doesn't make you feel any better, and it doesn't help the situation. In my case, it won't make my lost blog come back. It's gone to some parallel universe in ModBlogland, some black hole in the World Wide Web. I reiterate: w.bloggar, you bastard!

I'm too damn tired to write the whole damn thing again. (You can see I'm pissed, right?) So here's the Readers Digest version:

It's been a very busy week for me, because I had to cover several meetings and write them all up before leaving town for a brief (three-day) vacation to southern Wisconsin. The thing is, with my job you have to bust your ass to do all your work for the week before you go because nobody is going to lift a finger to do it for you. The normal vacation rules don't seem to apply to me. So the question is: Is is really a "vacation"?

Anyway, my wife and I leave all that behind for a few days in southern Wisconsin. We'll be back late Saturday night.

The main part of the piece was that I'm taking my laptop along in hopes of staying at a motel with wireless internet access--as you've probably seen, these places are cecoming more common. That led to a discussion (tongue-in-cheek) of motel rooms I have known.

But it's too late to try to write it all again now, and I'm too angry at w.bloggar, you bastard! Why didn't you send my post? I didn't say anything mean about you. Until now, that is. You bastard!

And I still want to read the many friends' blogs that have been posted since this morning. And it's already 11:40 p.m. And we want to hit the road about 9 a.m. (though, frankly, it's a long shot). And I'm tired. And I'm still pissed. w.bloggar, you bastard!

Since I alluded to it earlier, I wanted to briefly mention that my doctor's appointment today went well. BP is down. The blood tests were fine. I'll survive a while longer, I guess.

I'll call it good for now. There's just one final thing I wanted to say: w.bloggar, you bastard!
