How the Blog Works

How the blog works




The most recent entries or "posts" appear at the top. To find older ones, scroll down. On the right at the bottom of the page are links to older posts, which you can click on to find material posted last year, last month, etc.

Contributions are welcome and can be e-mailed to me at lawrenceyoulten@gmail.com. Content can include 1) announcements about, or introductions to, forthcoming meetings and other events of possible interest to members. 2) Summaries of talks given at Literary Society meetings or at meetings of the Book Group. 3) Announcements of forthcoming TV or radio programmes of possible interest to readers. 4) Reviews of books read recently or in the past.

Ideally, contributions should be submitted as documents in Word format (.doc or .docx files) and pictures in the form of .jpg files but other formats, including .pdf files are acceptable.

Links can be included to give easy access to relevant material on the internet.

Verse for Technophobes, by Gillian Southgate





TO MY COMPUTER

How do I hate thee?  Let me count the ways.
I hate the way you come up ‘undefined’
Or stop my password when I go online.
I really hate the way you say ‘hooray’
When junk mail fails to register as mine.
I hate the silly stories on the screen -
Who cares who Harry’s dating or he’s not?
I do not want to know where cars are cheap
Or if Obama’s Irish, Greek, or what.
I never Tweet, or Twitter, never go
To Facebook.  I just want to use
You like a reference book and writing tool.
But then, I am not young, and you
Somehow detect this, and I feel a fool.
