Oops

After i posted “Piddling on a Sunday,” my friend and co-radio announcer, as well as the program manager for WCOR AM and FM, let me know i had the station call sign messed up (old man dyslexia).

Coleman reported it was 107.3 FM, not 103.7. He added a delightful footnote:

For a time to emphasize the better quality sound of FM, we occasionally said “WCOR-FM, static free at one oh seven point three. ”

Thanks, Coleman for the correction and for some real fun for almost three years a long time ago.

Sorry

The old man just discovered he had a cloud boo-boo.

This morning he noticed something missing and checked the “spam” folder. Somehow, somewhere, sometime, he (i mean it had to be him) told the magic spirit in the cloud to put his emails notifying him of comments on his posts into spam. The magic and very quixotic spirit had also eliminated the notification of new comments on his website.

So this rather feeble old man, very, very electronically challenged has missed quite a few comments. Being from a different world, he tries to respond to each one, and now feels guilty for not doing so with these missed comments. i will be playing catch up, and hopefully won’t miss anyone when i respond. i just want you all to know how much i appreciate them.

and Thanks,

“Murphy’s Law”

From my “Murphy’s Law” desk calendar archives thanks to Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Pipey, and cousin Nancy:

Mars’ Rule: An expert is anyone from out of town.
 Goofy guy’s extension to Mar’s Rule: and if they are carrying a brief case, flip chart, and slide projector, he knows all there is to know…but never really did anything.

“Murphy’s Law”

From my “Murphy’s Law” desk calendar archives thanks to Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Pipey, and cousin Nancy:

Farmer’s Credo: Sow your wild oats on Saturday night; then on Sunday, pray for crop failure.
 Goofy guy’s objection to the Farmer’s Credo: i have never known too many farmers who lived by this law, but i have known a whole lot of other folks for whom this was a mantra.
