A Last Request to Cafe Management
Things have changed, and that's fine. Things still need to be worked out, and that's fine, too. The one thing I now want some definitive information on is the fate of whatever content I posted in the last incarnation of...more »

Adios Cafe
It's gone. If this ever shows, it'll be a major miracle. Sorry, Andrew, but you might as well diss the Cafe and put the front pagers somewhere else....more »

For the Café Back Benchers: Going on Sabbatical—One More Music Post
This is for the Café "back benchers." It just ain’t the same as it was. I'm not really folding my tent and stealing away into the night; I'm just taking a sabbatical. I’ll check back to see how things...more »

Just Having Fun with the Transition—More Silliness
Andrew, you really need to get the Delete button back, because I'd take this down later today. In the meantime, the pic is me, sorta, and here's a song I really like about Saturday night at the movies. To quote Jim...more »

Transition Music for Starting Over
Well, we are starting over, so to speak. Change can be good; we learn and grow, even if we become frustrated. Two tunes for change. BTW, Andrew, I really need the spell checker back (too much stress to actually read...more »

Like you, I don't expect free server space. I'll be more than glad to collect my stuff and move along. I'm an everyday essayist, I guess, much more than a political commentator. I'd like to be given a window for reviewing my things and retrieve what I want, and what's left can be disposed of.

Chuck, just stuff from this incarnation, not from the old Cafe.

:-) I like the avatar, and Andrew. Right now, I'm getting my B&D drill and attempting a cranial bore to see if I can relieve some of the pressure in my head. I hate colds, and the perpetual sound of a howling wind in my ears has grown tire some. As always, Woof, Woof and double treats all around :-)

Nothing rash. You know where I hang out, now. I'm waiting to see how things pan out here. This was just me wanting to have access to some of my old stuff. :-)

From the loss of so much functionality, I get the feeling the Cafe is/was the red headed stepchild. The Reader Blogs and the Discussion Tables, I beleive, were the main draw for Cafe denizens. You get stuff like what's on the front page in many places. The back rooms were where we visitors could participate on a higher level. But, it's their nickel.

My Adios Cafe was not me bidding good-bye to the Cafe and leaving but saying good-bye to the Cafe that was.
"I mention this because while we “backbenchers” find ourselves in amongst the tall trees of serious commentators now, there is no reason why we can not continue to gather in the open spaces, whispering our little secrets and singing our little ditties. We may be the children of a lesser god, but a forest without pixies is a lonely place."
I like that. I'll continue to linger, as a spirit that is loathe to leave a special place even after its passing. Thanks.

Seriously, it's disconcerting. I see very few names I recognize posting reader blogs. Yours is the first I've seen in a day or so. It's like sudeenly being transferred to a new school due to redistricting. You some faces you recognize but many more that you don't. You're unsure what the norms are with the new kids. You fit in well in the old school, and you're sorta hanging back waiting to see what the new rules are. You're observing in hopes to adapt, but you're frustrated because it's all new. Make some sense? Anyway, I over analyze and think too much.

I'm hangin', just not gonna post much, if at all. I have my doubts the old forum will return, and it takes an old fart awhile to adapt, especially when he ain't much inclined to do so. I got my comfort zone and just gotta find it again ;-)
