I have not been posting them regularly. This was the initial intent, but of course, I lack commitment. I did, however, actually write them almost daily for a time and am posting them for your enjoyment (or putting them out there for your ridicule). They are not all there and they are not in date order. They are in the order that they were in a stack of papers sitting next to my computer. You will have to cope if you find the infraction disturbing.
