Ah,
the start of the Christmas season!
A time when a lot of people visit friends and family for the holidays.
So it wasn't terribly surprising when I received an invitation for a family reunion.
For the GXXX family out of Chigaco,
from,
as it turns out,
my Uncle James PXXXXXXX .
The only thing is—I don't have any known family in Chicago,
much less know anyone in the GXXX family,
nor do I have an uncle names James PXXXXXXX.
Sigh.
People!
Please!
Double check email addresses if you are unsure,
just don't blindly assume that firstnamelastname@gmail.com will end up with the right person.
Also,
in the email chain,
I see Gmail label my outgoing email with a large cautionary warning in bold on a red background:
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]: Use Caution
Gee, thanks Gmail.
How long until you start outright rejecting email to or from anyone not using Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo or Gmail?
Or am I just too cynical?
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.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
