When JO does not post the correct URL of The Box

Last night as I was doing the rounds someone told me I should get the October issue of JO magazine because my blog was mentioned there. I managed to get the issue today and, Lo and Behold!, the URL of Tololy’s Box mentioned was incorrect. My face was as straight as the next wall.

Now while I appreciate being featured under the bold title of “Best of the Web”, I certainly find no sense in directing readers to my old blog (http://tololy.blogspot.com). There was even less sense when I read the paragraph concerned and discovered that it was about my post on the Pope’s speech.

I cannot quite digest the chronological order of events here: I wrote about the Pope’s speech only last month but I stopped using my old blog earlier this year. Why would someone who actually read last month’s post direct people to my old blog?

An honest mistake, I reckon, or artistic suicide.

On a slightly lighter note, I enjoyed today tremendously. It was an epitome of fruitfulness. I received a message from Janet, whom I miss and who in turn misses Eid in Jordan. I also met an old professor of mine and found him healthy and happy and still as delightfully (?) talkative as I recall him. A friend lost since the days of Italiano Uno phoned to wish me and the family a pleasant Eid.

I wrapped up a thicket of official paperwork and paid a little fortune in the process. I went to the library and returned then borrowed some books and, last but not least, I worked for a living and spent time with my family.

If that isn’t a fruitful day, I don’t know what is. What did you do today? Oh and Eid Mubarak to everyone!
