Getting so much better all the time

In the past few weeks this blog has aged 2 years. That's because I finally dug up the old .html files from the previous Blogger edition of this blog, "Writer's block," and added them to the archives of this here version. Writer's block existed from 2002 to 2003 and covers the months when I left my city job and came to the quiet of Vermont. I closed it down sometime in 2003, but obviously couldn't resist the lure of blogging for long! (Blogger deleted my files when I closed my account, but kept my same URL for me. I saved the whole blog using Explorer's handy "scrapbook" feature.) Just a grain of salt warning--I wasn't necessarily thinking of being Safe For Work when I wrote those old entries. I think they are pretty tame though. There's even a recipe or two.
