“It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at
occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent guest of wind which
swept up the streets …”
And so begins Edward George Bulwer-Lytton's Paul Clifford, as wretched a novel
as existed, and it described tonight fairly well as I took The Kids trick-or-treating.
The wind was so violent that it constantly
inverted my umbrella and in the end, I gave up on using it.
And The Kids scored some 11 pounds of candy this year.
Unfortunately for me, they're
not leaving for their Father's tomorrow …
Sigh.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
