Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter ...

  I have no idea who sang that song, but I can hear it in my head as I type
this e-mail to the Orcmid's Lair Blog.  It has me remember Johny Ray singing
"Cry" and the original version of "Give me a kiss to build a dream on" that
was used in The Joker Is Wild, one of my dad's favorite films.

This is my second use of alternative posting methods for Orcmid's Lair.
Just a little break to fiddle about.  (Wild mental leap from Sinatra to The
Who.)

Well, because of the "//nopub" bug, I don't have to fear the posts from NewsGator and the ones via e-mail actually appearing in the blog until I review them in the Blogger Posting page and have them published. They look like they are published already, because the aren't marked as drafts, but that is all illusion.  OK, enough for burning down the house.  (All these musical allusions are because I was asked, while configuring the Blogger posting plug-in, whether I wanted to add an automatic "Listening to ..." line based on whatever Media Player 9 is playing at the time.  That is a rather limited case of listening, for me, since I have many more audio options here as I type.  And I usually am not listening to any music while I am at work on the computer -- I don't like to wear headphones and I don't want to disturb others in the household. And I'll probably do it anyhow (headphones + Media Player update) just to see Listening to ... work.
