My functioning may
not be quite back to normal but I am happy to say that my blog readership seems
to be.
Starting in mid-September,
around the time I celebrated that 50,000 pageview mark, I had been puzzled that
my numbers seemed to have dropped off substantially. I wondered if everyone was
just getting tired of my silly songs and t-shirts. At the same time, on many
days the e-mail I sent announcing the newest post resulted in error messages (over
1,100 of them in all) that said either
Delivery
Status Notification (Delay)
|
Delivery incomplete
|
|
There was a temporary problem
delivering your message to xxxxx.yyy. Gmail will retry for 47
more hours. You'll be notified if the delivery fails permanently.
|
or
Delivery
Status Notification (Failure)
|
Message not
delivered
|
|
There was a problem delivering
your message to xxxxx.yyy. See the technical details below, or
try resending in a few minutes.

For the life of me I
could not figure out why. I shut down my computer and rebooted, I cleared my “cookies”
(turns out to be a headache because I had to re-log in to almost everything
afterwards), but nothing seemed to work.
Since posting
yesterday, I have received over 100 pageviews, which is about average for my
postings. I can only conclude that whatever was going on (bad karma?) it seems
to have resolved itself.
So, if you think you
may have missed anything, it is all still here for the reading! And if you do
not have anything more important to do than read my old blog posts, I have to
advise you that it is time to get a life!
Speaking of which, I
have spent the past couple of hours packing for our trip to Sharon. Hopefully I
will be able to make it from one highway rest stop (or easily accessible
facilities) to the next. The last time we drove to Sharon, for Eliana’s
celebration on September 10th, was before the “cone down” when the
more frequent need for rest stops began. Seems it is taking a while to resolve.
Meanwhile, after a
couple of days of rain we are finally having another nice day here in New York,
and our friends Judy and Lanny are going to join us for dinner. What nicer way to finish out the holiday?
Love,
Rebecca
