A Retraction
I have returned home to news:
Evidently, my, ahem, Editor just peeked at yesterday's entry and determined that there are just a few factual errors therein, which errors require correction and/or clarification.
Where to begin.
Let's see.
Hmmmmm.
Oh heck, let's just redo the whole thing. Please substitute the following entry for yesterday's:
Fact: We got a treadmill.
Opinion: It sucks.
And for the record, the costume(s) to which I allude are not the EMBLOS' cup of tea, at least until certain events with an eschatological significance occur. Although, with the way things are going in the Middle East, I'm keeping my hopes up.
Suitably chagrined, I remain for now:

There we go, dear. You can put that away now.

Sigh.
Why oh why do Other People insist on getting their writerly mitts on History and emending, amending, and just basically insist on messing with the ol' patriarchal narrative that History used to be?
Oh, yeah: Postmodernism (and post-structuralism, too).
So, I'll contribute to the chaos initiated by the EMBLOS and suggest that this post could as easily have been titled:
"Wherein Your Humble Correspondent Confronts Postmodernism In His Own Home [Part II] & Continues A Leitmotif"
(I left in the "leitmotif" bit because I'm not sure just how (if at all) pistol-wielding women fit into said leitmotif you have going there. Your call . . . or maybe it's the EMBLOS's call?)
Speaking as a housewife, I think every EMBLOS in the land should be well armed. Or at least trained in the ballistic arts. Particularly henpecked husbands might contend their wives already are...
I say "vive la difference!" but there's nothing wrong with an enormous weapon in a marriage.
A pretty gal with a big weapon. Not something one sees every day. Thailand apart, that is.
Thanks all. In truth, the EMBLOS is a tremendously good sport about this stuff.
Now, if I could trouble one of you to unlock this closet and let me out . . .
Cheers.
Heh heh heh. My appreciation for the EMBLOS' editorial skills are deepening.
Indeed, A.J. That PhD in English is worth something.
Cheers.
