I’ll admit I haven’t exhausted my resources, but all my initial searching has come up short on this.
I need information on various Western customs of formal dining etiquette, particularly regarding where various people sit at the table. Does the guest of honor always sit at the host’s right? Why? I’m […]

This is me noticing how little time there is until this month’s deadline. :-{
This is me counting how many days will be lost to other activities between now and then.

I’m having trouble getting things sorted out with the whole admin password fiasco, but apparently I can still post. Imagine that.

I’ve lost the admin password for the blog - again. One would think, since I just reset it two weeks ago, that I would know what it is, but apparently I don’t. I can’t explain it. I’ll have to get in through the backside again, but I won’t have time for that […]
