Last night someone told me that my blog sucks. That hurt, but I guess I needed to hear it. She explained that she was referring to the frequency of posts rather than content, which made it hurt a bit less.
My computer won’t let me attach images; the pertinent windows won’t open. It’s super-frustrating because I want to feature more than just words. I store images on my zip drive, visit computers at work or the public library and patch the drafts and the images there. I’d love to get a new computer but that’s not feasible.
My family responsibilities take up a lot of time, so I can’t get to the above locations as much as I’d like.
So in lieu of real insect news, here’s a solstice-season whine.
On the more positive side: a bunch of cool projects are going on, and though they might well be a bit dated by the time I blog them I promise I will share the details with all.
Hey, Bug Man!
Happy holidays! I see you have a new hive. Our card came back this year, so I figured I’d better look you up to see what’s the haps. Sounds like all is well, and we’re glad for that.
We’ve told our boys all about you, because they dig bugs (good boys). For Christmas, they got bug toys and real bugs encased in glass for better viewing. They love playing Spider-Man. And check out the arachnid they found last summer at day care — well, not _the_ critter, but one just like it:

I didn’t know such a thing existed around here. Stunning (That’s what her prey said)!
Anyhoo, drop me a line sometime so we can catch up, and please extend our greetings to Kim & Sonia.
Take it easy, bro.

Hi Jerry!!
Thanks for getting in touch; happy new years!
I’ll try you by email, bud; don’t know if I’ve got your current address. For the moment though I can’t access your blog…. the mother system says you haven’t allowed access to your profile or something like that.
Talk soon,
Dave
Hey Dave. Sorry for the late reply. Send me an E at jerryseim@juno.com when you’ve got some time to give us an update. Let’s stay in touch this time. Hope all is well.
