There’s a reason for my ‘Friday’ post showing up Sunday morning; and this week’s ‘Sunday’ post, whatever it’ll be about, getting delayed until next Sunday.<\/p>\n
It’s been ‘one of those<\/strong> weeks.’<\/p>\n Starting Monday afternoon, I’ve experienced a series of minor technical glitches and a major one, simple tasks that turned complex, swift errands that took hours – – – you get the idea. Then on Friday I discovered that I couldn’t update this blog.<\/p>\n On the ‘up’ side, I was getting the same “Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_raise_memory_limit…” message each time I tried logging in, right after WordPress crashed.<\/p>\n That gave me and my son something to talk about when he got home from work.<\/p>\n We agreed that something had gone wrong when I updated WordPress \u2014 before<\/strong> adding Friday’s ‘science’ post, not one of my better decisions \u2014 and that fixing the problem would take much less time and effort if I let him sit at my desk and work: undistributed.<\/p>\n That discussion started late Friday, continued in sporadic bursts through Saturday evening, and ended with my son playing a choral “ALLELUIA!” on his phone: by way of announcing that the errant software was (probably) working again.<\/p>\n I can’t complain. I could, actually, but it wouldn’t be reasonable or helpful.<\/p>\n More good news: my wife and #3 daughter got back from St. Cloud, an hour down the Interstate; and the family van is (probably) safe for in-town driving. The brakes, probably, had started smoking after they got lost. After dark. In the larger town.<\/p>\n I spent part of Saturday catching up on tasks that hadn’t gotten done since Monday, and expect to be doing more of the same through part of tomorrow: at least. Then I hope that I’ll be back to my usual Weekly Schedule<\/a>, getting next Friday’s post ready.<\/p>\n That’s the plan. What actually happens: we’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a reason for my ‘Friday’ post showing up Sunday morning; and this week’s ‘Sunday’ post, whatever it’ll be about, getting delayed until next Sunday.
