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: Another Delay In Posting ...


Good Evening Garlic Fans


We hope this post finds you all well ...

Well, as you can see, with no posts yesterday, or earlier today, you may ask, with all that's going on, what's up?

We have another homefront situation we're dealing with, having to rush my, now 95-year-old (we had a big B'Day bash this past Sunday) aunt to the hospital again, early yesterday (Wed) morning. The diagnosis, without going into unpleasant details, is that she is anemic, and a procedure will be conducted tomorrow to see just what-is-what (She is doing well, and in normal demeanor).

So, I am going to attempt to get a post (maybe two) up later this evening (or early tomorrow morning) but don't hold it against me if I don't.

There's a lot of good posts to catch up with, and, as always, a right sidebar chock full of good things to explore.

And as always, thanks for visiting, reading and supporting The Garlic

Editor's Note: Still Making Our Way To That Light At The End of The Tunnel


Good Evening Garlic Fans


We hope you all had a good weekend (and for those of you up here in the Northeast, oh boy, here we go again, with the Snow/Rain/Sleet thing).

As we noted on Thursday, the news was good and there was Light At The End of The Tunnel. Even managed to squeeze out two posts (actually, wrote a few more that haven't - and may not be - posted).

Things are going well with my Aunt and, while still pulling my usual attention and duties with her, I was looking forward to spending this weekend getting back on track.

Boy, was that ever so optimistic.

Saturday, it played out that she needed a bit more attention and I, when not performing those duties, hit a wall.

I was exhausted. While my mind was racing, all kinds of great posts shooting around like that movie, Koyaanasquatsi, I was dead tired and just couldn't sit in front of the computer.

Anchored the sofa, took many short naps and, caught a funky little documentary (The Ice Kings)

Today, Sunday, pretty much a replay of Saturday.

So, we're still trudging towards that light at the end of the tunnel, and, hopefully, tomorrow, it will all kick back in and, away we go.

Many thanks for your patience and understanding, as well as your visits to The Garlic

Peace

Editor's Note - Lo Siento, Again ...


Good Evening Garlic Fans


My apologies again, for the low posting this week (and none yesterday).

Both, have been under-the-weather (cold weather creeping in + heat coming on = havoc on the sinuses), as well as things in the non-blog homefront have kept me hopping, more than a one-legged-man in an ass-kicking contest.

Will endeavor, as always, to be both more productive and consistent (as well as, hopefully, entertaining).

Thank You again, for visiting, and reading, The Garlic.

Peace

Editor's Note


Good Morning Garlic Fans


Hope you enjoyed - at least, those of you in the Northeast - the autumn-like weekend.

Minor mea culpa for the goose-egg in posting yesterday ... A bit of trouble in the non-blog home front impacted us and it may be a bit unsettled, for the next day, or two.

So, in the event posting is low, there's lots of others, as well as some great links, to wade through

Once again, a thousand thanks for visiting and reading The Garlic

Peace

Editor's Note - Another Mea Culpa For Absence and Low Posting


Good Evening Garlic Fans ...


We lower our head to offer another apology over the lack-of-posting the past three-days ... It was, very much, an unplanned absence, due to the on-going situation on the home front, that required our complete (and exhausting) attention ...

We are - hopefully - getting back-on-track today with some posts and, if all goes well, will be able to continue ... There's just too much going on to be regulated to the sidelines ...

Thank you again for your understanding, as well as visits to The Garlic!

Peace
