Please spell check – or am I the only one with a
headache about this?

Headache, no, but it bothers me, too. I always feel embarrassed when I look at mis-spelled words I wrote on the blog. I’m even tempted to ask Mr. Michael to fix them.
If you are our age typos grate like glass shards mixed with your Visine. But I know Matt and many of his friends who grew up text messaging without caps and punctuation could care less. Still, I don’t get it, and I do have a fond memory of an early camping trip to Grok Hill when Cel prewrote hard to spell words on her hand before adding them to the journal.
Otoh, I am thankful that people aren’t as critical about punctuation as they are about misspelled words.
Where’s Lafayette? Or is it Lafayett, or Lafayete, or Lafahyet?

But now BirdBrain’s comment makes no sense! And I was planning a college-looting trip.
I noticed Goose took much more care with his own site than with his comments on this, which is completely appropriate … and should let his mom know that he does know how to care.
if you look at all the colleges then look at mine…….i seem to be in the middle of nowhere……..and its GREAT

I know it doesn’t but I decided she’d rather make no sense than … .

As Goose frequently reminds me – I often do not make
sense. Thanks, Michael.
