What I've been doing instead of posting

• Serving on the Benevolent Committee for the Giving Away of Other People's Hard-Earned Money
• Waiting for a government worker to return my call. Long ago, I read about a lady who, circa 1955, got a vague idea that as the widow of a veteran she was entitled to some kind of pension. She duly applied and they told her to "go home and wait". So she . . . quit her job. And waited several months till they told her she didn't qualify for enough to live on. After the last few days, I don't look down on that lady quite so much.
• Being careful the articles I edited which mentioned Boston were above suspicion of exploiting it
