\n(Meet Norbert Nerdly: my frustrations, personified.)<\/p>\n

My regularly-scheduled ‘Friday’ and ‘Sunday’ posts will, I trust, resume: eventually.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I will add something new to A Catholic Citizen in America. How often and when that will be depends on me getting an idea, writing something, and having an opportunity to post it here.<\/p>\n

The good news is that I now have time to work on a non-blogging writing project.<\/p>\n

The not-so-good news is that I’ve got time because I have intermittent, at best, access to the website A Catholic Citizen in America uses.<\/p>\n

My son, this household’s ‘computer guy,’ traced my problem to a balky router. He’s exhausted our options for coaxing it into working for me.<\/p>\n

Happily, the router lets me and everyone else visit just about everything on the Internet. Except that one URL. I have no idea why, and neither does he. This is the stuff of which conspiracy theories are made. But I figure it’s just another tech glitch.<\/p>\n

The only option left is replacing the router. That won’t happen until the household’s current financial situation gets less \u2014 urgent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, again, I’ve got time for a long-dormant writing project. And a few other ‘back burner’ items. The first of those was adding a webcam to this blog’s pages.<\/p>\n

Finally, the inevitable links to more of my stuff:<\/p>\n
