Editor's Note: Rough Day, Dog Tired, No Posting ...

Good Evening Garlic Fans

We trust that you are well ... Perhaps a bit burnt out on Client No. 9 news, or the never-ending Democratic Primary...

Unfortunately, no Garlic relief to offer this evening ...

Rough day on the homefront, with family stuff, leaving me drained, with little-to-no humor or creativity (heck, writing a grocery list would be painfully challenging)

So, rather than sit here, dredging up something substandard, best to leave it to tomorrow, after, hopefully, a good night's rest.

On another front, of recent Editor's Notes, we have, apparently, solved (or delayed some unknown horror) our recent time in Computer Hell.

Turns out all I had to due was turn off the "McAfee Redirector", this after a nearly 2-hour call with the technician.

And after, a trip to The Google produced over 200,000 listings, and, just on the first page, a handful of similarly plagued users ...

Hmmm ... Seems like they knew there was a problem, perhaps?

And, as I discovered in rebooting earlier this evening, one will have to stop the McAfee Redirector each and every time starting up, in order to have a properly functioning machine ...

Errrrrrr ...

Later
Peace

PS - Oh yeah, many thanks, as always, for coming by The Garlic!

Editor's Note: There's Light At The End of The Tunnel

Good Morning Garlic Fans!

Coming up for air today, as the news is good on the homefront.

As related in our Editor's Note of Monday, we had a family crises with my 94-year-old Aunt, having to get her to the hospital Sunday evening.

Turns out, she passed a gall stone, however, it either backed up into, or banged around her pancreas, hence, the resulting pain and discomfort.

Flooding her with fluids (to "cool down" the pancreas), and her own strong will, had her feeling better by Tuesday, and virtually fully recovered yesterday.

Kudo's to the nurses and docs at Mt. Auburn Hospital, here in Cambridge, MA.

She's due to come home today, and we will engage in a follow-up, non-evasive procedure, that will mitigate this type of situation occurring again.

Many thanks to those that called and emailed, and to all who visited, and read, The Garlic this week.

Peace
JTD

Editor's Note - Posting Delayed

Good Morning Garlic Fans

We trust that you're doing well ... Especially the folks up here in the Northeast, as we got our first snow of the season (here in Boston, not much, a few inches before it turned to freezing rain).

Following up on my post of Saturday, as well as previous notes of this matter, we had another family crises late yesterday/early evening and had to get my Lawrence Welk-loving Aunt to the hospital again. Prognosis is good, as it, surprisingly, is something rather ordinary and not related to her most recent issues (but then again, at the age of 94, that's all relative).

So, likely it will be a day, or two, where I am of time (and clear mind) to get back in the grind with new posts.

In the meantime, there's much to do during your visit to The Garlic ... Catch up on the daily offerings, or scroll down the right sidebar to indulge in some Garlic Classics, or check out some of the other great sites via the bevy of links available to you (and those folks would, very much, appreciate a visit, I'm sure).

Thank You again, for visiting and supporting The Garlic

Peace
