Housekeeping . . .

In case you sensibly took the weekend off from email . . .

Saturday’s post.

Sunday’s post.

I worked a lot harder on those than I did on this one.

Also:

> Sometimes Mailchimp seems to drop subscribers for no reason.  If I haven’t posted for a few days, and you care (given how swamped we all are, you might well not), just go to www.andrewtobias.com to see the ones you’ve missed and resubscribe.

> Sometimes a post that looks right on my website has formatting glitches when they arrive by email.  To see it the way it’s meant to be seen, just click on my fat face and it will take you straight to the post.

> My fat face needs updating.  I’m way older by now.  I assess the reason I haven’t gotten around to fixing this to be a blend: 20% vanity, 80% sloth.

> MailChimp’s RSS feed is set up to grab only one new post a day, whatever time of day I post it.  So if I post something with what I come to realize is a glaring error — or if nuclear war breaks out and my post is a (fantastic) Elaine May tribute to Mike Nichols — I can’t send a correction or a “Quick! Duck and cover!” until after midnight.  You’ll just have to think I’m an idiot.
