BOOKS   EVENTS   BIOGRAPHY   OTHER WRITING & FAVORITE LINKS   WRITE TO BILL

I plan to weigh in every other day or so with what I hope are yak-worthy thoughts, musings and reconditioned events from my alleged past, my assumed present and my delusional future. If you want to comment, I will respond almost as quickly as those spam guys who claim you can make $500/day in your underwear.

The Winner of a Bill Scheft t-shirt for Heroic Email CPR....

….is our pal, Toast in the Machine, who sent me the Yahoo help number and got me back up and running in two email accounts in four hours, rather than 24.

Toast not only sent warnings and numbers to this blog, but sent my wife a message on Facebook. Come on. And thanks to everyone who also chimed in with blog comment alerts. When it happened, around 3:45. I was so nuts I didn’t check in here for a while. That, of course, and the fact that it happened in the middle of a, wait for it, NINE -HOUR HOUSECALL FROM VERIZON to set me up with FIOS. Unreal.

I really appreciate everyone’s concern. It is v-humbling.

Thank God it was just a greasy solicitation. Although when I was finally back up, Jude Brennan, one of the Late Show EPs, had sent me three emails saying she had wired me the money for the passport. So, I guess it was all worth it….
