Jim Capozzola has been having an odd problem with regards to links. Links to here, that is. As an example, he linked to Blue Streak in this post (scroll to bottom of post) & the link disappeared when he updated the blog. This has been happening, intermittently, for months. But only with links to Blue Streak. What’s up with that? Any experts out there have a good fix for him? Thanks in advance on Jim’s behalf.

February 28, 2003Some kind person out there in Blogtopia* linked to the WTC post below & sent over quite a few visitors, but I can’t get any idea who from the referrer log … so thank you whoever you may be. And maybe someone can give me a hint?
Speaking of Fresh Air
February 28, 2003It’s a blue day in the neighborhood
February 27, 2003
PITTSBURGH – Fred Rogers, who gently invited millions of children to be his neighbor as host of the public television show “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” for more than 30 years, died of cancer early Thursday. He was 74.
Rogers died at his Pittsburgh home, said family spokesman David Newell, who played Mr. McFeely on the show. Rogers had been diagnosed with stomach cancer sometime after the holidays, Newell said.
“He was so genuinely, genuinely kind, a wonderful person,” Newell said. “His mission was to work with families and children for television. … That was his passion, his mission, and he did it from day one.”
I can’t even begin to express how sad I feel. It’s like I’ve lost a friend. Goodbye, Mr. Rogers. Godspeed.
UPDATE: Jeanne has a beautiful post you should read.
ADDENDUM: NPR re-ran a couple of wonderful interviews with Mr. Rogers this morning on Fresh Air, go here to listen.
How can I possibly resist a Pink Floyd parody?
February 27, 2003And neither should you.
Oh yeah, girlfriend. I know exactly what you mean.
February 27, 2003thoroughly dispirited, thanks, yourself?
See, here’s the thing. For some reason, this past week, this stuff has been really seriously pissing me off. Not making me indignant, not incurring my disapproval, not firing me to righteous demurral. Seriously pissing me off.
See, this is not an interesting thing to read. No, really. The kind of blogging I admire is the kind of thing that Body and Soul and Alas and Rittenhouse and PLA and Ignatz and Long Story and Ruminate This and the Poor Man and (blogroll here) do, which can be summed up in the sequence
“cite, painstakingly researched analysis, humanist but merciless takedown, Thwak! transgressor’s head rolls away quietly so as not to cause any more trouble”
See, that’s blogging.
Oh.
February 27, 2003Next time I bump into him at the grocery store, I wonder if I’m supposed to pretend I didn’t.
wKeneighbor … best of luck to you in the next (top secret) venture. Hope you’ll come by and say hey once in a while.
