Losing posts

I'm sorry that posts haven't been appearing very often this week, but I have been trying to update the blog. I created two longish posts over the last two days and both were lost in the process of posting. Something in the Blogger system seems to be screwing up on a regular basis. Often posts are saved and can be republished by trying again at a later time, but this week they've just been disappearing altogether. So my great words of wisdom ( :) ) have been lost forever...
