Insanity

“The definition of stupidity [or insanity] is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — Albert Einstein

HELP!!!

Okay, I've tried to put at least a dozen different Internet blog templates onto this blog. I must be really stupid or totally insane, because I keep getting the same *&$#@ ERROR messages:

We were unable to save your template

Do you think I can figure out what the messages mean? Do you think I could find Blogger Support? I finally gave up trying to have a blog template which expresses my personality. And as a result, I also gave up blogging for much of the summer.

I've lost the small readership I had. I missed writing about:

• Bill's many kidney stones


• Missing the LoToJa due to said stones


• My 59th B-day 9-9-08


• The birth of my Grand Nephew 9-10-08-- Henry Joseph Miller

AND most importantly:

• My favorite event of the year: The Timpangogos Storytelling Festival (story to follow)

I am making another attempt at writing--come what may.
