    Okay, I’m not sure what mischief Blogger is up to now. I commented, but it looked like I’d commented the exact same thing twice. I deleted one of the comments and both of them disappeared.

    My original comment: “I needed to read this today. Thank you.”

    Blogger, behave!

      Blogger is awful this way. Another reason I’m moving on…
