Disappointed....

It appears that my cut-and-paste method of being able to reply to comments unfortunately leaves some sort of damnable code in that makes the post regrettably challenging to read.  This is quite disappointing to me, as I am not sure how to go about fixing that.  I may try to figure out some sort of work around if I can.... because commenting in the fashion I tried yesterday WAS considerably easier for me than the previous method I had been using.  Perhaps folks may have additional suggestions with the following new knowledge of how I worked through commenting yesterday:

1.  I was able to take the Blogger access to comments (which is within the Blogger system as a "page" perhaps it would be called) and then work with them very easily in a Word document.  Yes, even though I prefer working with WordPerfect (the first processor type I learned on decades ago, and the one I still think is far superior), I now mainly use damnable Word as it is considered the "standard" now at the U (you may read "standard" as the "cheapest option" which is why I think the U made it the processor to use across campus now). 

2.  After writing out my responses to the comments, I simply cut-and-pasted the result into a post.

3.  But, unfortunately, it appears ODDLY bracketed in white space on the traditional version of my blog which makes it difficult for some folks to read.  So, the traditional website of the blog looks really ODD for people, yet even more odd... the version of my blog that shows on my phone, things look normal however..... so I have no clue what is going on.  

4.  I am thinking that perhaps there is some weird Word code that comes with the cut-and-paste effort that I have no damn idea how to find and/or remove.

Well, in order to allow my wife to get to work on time yesterday, and to allow myself both time to get to work as well, I had to shovel and snow plow (or plough if you like the older-style variant.... which I *DO* actually like, myself) the driveway before heading to the U.  But, the snow kept falling, so after the U, I ended up having to shovel and snow plow (plough) again.  This, in addition to running, and in addition to the chaos of students regarding the final exam and their ability or lack of ability to get in on time.... made me awfully damn tired last night.  

Even though my wife and I had Taco Night last night (with my usual "bigger than my head" ultra-giant taco salad, two burritos, and two tostadas).... I regrettably nodded off part way through eating.  We were eating (by choice because we were both exhausted) on the couch while watching television which we occasionally will do if it has been a long day and dinner is later than desired.  My wife nudged me awake, and I got up, and roamed around the house a bit, trying to wake myself up more so that I could spend the time with my wife and to also be able to finish eating.  

Fortunately, that roaming did enough good, that I was able to finish dinner and also remain awake for the evening to spend time with my wife before bed.
