Whew.
If you were surprised to be unable to visit this blog for the past couple of days … well, so was I.
After spending some quality time with my Web host people discussing things involving SQL databases, defunct files, robots and slow crawly scripts, I think I’ve gotten things back in order. With any luck, Swords Against Boredom won’t vanish again.
I apologize for any inconvenience.

Flashing Swords presents "Return of the Sword" ... all new heroic fantasy ... heroes who Do Deeds!
Glad you’re back. Looking forward to seeing youse guys this weekend.
And btw, loved your post on Romeo and Juliet … so when she asks about Othello and the line “making the beast with two backs” … that will be another Father-Daughter Moment, huh? (Caps intended)
Tom: I do exercise Daddy’s right to gloss over a point or two. And to elucidate key points. For instance, how 14 really isn’t the right marrying age, and how Romeo flits from deep depressive love for Rosaline to obsession over Juliet in an eyeblink.
But it’s a lot of fun, and she picks up on way more of what’s going on than even I would’ve thought.

Well, I’m glad you’re back. Who’s life am I supposed to spy on if not yours?
