I was able to move the blog in its entirety from Typepad to WordPress. I was actually pretty impressed with the speed and accuracy of that process. There are some glitches, the only really notable one being that block quotes are not displayed as such unless/until I edit the post, click a certain button, and

Yesterday I received the following email from Typepad, the blogging service on which this blog is built: It's not a total shock, though it is a shock. I've known for some time that Typepad was not doing well. WordPress long ago surpassed them in customer numbers, and I doubt their respective counts are within an

I made a mistake in the way I read this book, with the result that I am a little vague about the details of the plot. Well, more than a little, really–I'm usually a little vague about the plot of a detective story. This is part indifference, as long as the story keeps me interested,

The full original title of the novel, as printed on the cover of the original 1836 edition, was The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Containing a Faithful Record of the Perambulations, Perils, Travels, Adventures and Sporting Transactions of the Corresponding Members. This was shortened to The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club on the

It seemed natural to go on from my tour of the Beethoven piano concertos to those of Brahms. There are only two, so this will be a shorter journey. And I'm sorry to say that it isn't off to a great start. I followed my self-imposed rule which says that I have to listen to

"Oh damn," said Lord Peter Wimsey… Those are the first words of Whose Body? and I would think that they were pretty bold, shocking or at least startling, in 1923, when the novel first appeared. I may be wrong about that, but the opening suggests to me a certain irreverence toward social convention on the part
