Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Going to Shanghi

Well, this is it for today. I have a position audit this afternoon (the personnel board interviews you to see if you are properly classified for the work you do), and then tomorrow I will be picking up my mom from her work and we'll be driving down to Shanghi for my aunt's funeral. Juanita was my mom's oldest brother's wife; a fine and compassionate woman who lived a long full life and helped raise two of the finest men I know.

Simple graveside service, in a small old place that's not much more than a widening in the road. There is a fellow from there named Dale Short who made a book writer. This is his description of Shanghi.

See you all later tomorrow.
