					<description>I'm going to stare at the swirly thing for 45 seconds and then look at my wall.  All the mysteries of the universe will then be unlocked.
-or- I'll see a swirly thing on my wall.  And really, isn't that what we all want anyway?
All the best,

					<description>Welcome back! I hate the world "blog" too, and I also hate html, which is ironic, since I code for a living (supposedly, anyway). Wait... I take that back... I hate CSS... no, that's not it either... wait for it... yeah... here it comes... what really I hate is Internet Explorer. I hate IE with the burning hot passion of a thousand suns, actually. It is sucks.

What was I saying? Oh, yeah -- welcome back.</description>

					<description>Hi AT.  Nice new format!  (I don't like how it killed my whole long comment when I accidentally forgot to fill in my name before submitting, but oh well.  Rewriting is part of the game I guess.)  Missed the infamous post until now because of the time difference.  Funny and not, all at once.  Sometimes life just seems like one big misunderstanding.

I respect your wishes about suggestion-giving, and will try to curb my natural tendencies in that regard.  You have to realize that I'm a problem-solver both by nature and profession, so it's not always easy!  And there has got to be some value in an outside point of view now that then.  No?  Well, no matter.  I will try to blather less, and if I get out of line you can change my name to Meddlesome Meddler.  :)  Cheers!</description>

					<description>Glad you're "back" with a new format. The previous format was freaking me out. And I'm glad you're continuing with your blog. If you hadn't I would have worried about you. 
I applaud your venting and honor your feelings, whatever they are at the moment. 
From another grieving soul.</description>

					<description>Good to see you back, AT.

And yeah, I blogged in HTML for nine years before finally making the jump to modern blogging world.  I do kinda miss the ability to control every single thing about the output and view, but on the other hand, jeez, ALL those hours, talk about time-consuming.</description>

					<description>"blog" bugs me a bit too because I'm in the business of making websites and a blog is nothing more than a website updated regularly. It is a content management system. I am working on a quote for a potential client right now and their "website" is begging for Mambo, Drupal, or Wordpress as the least expensive solution (as opposed to custom programming).

However, the Throw Mama from a Train reference had to be done.</description>

					<description>I'm glad you are back.  You know what, as my baby's favorite book says, "You can't go over it, you can't go under it, you can't go around it, you have to go through it."  Trite, but true.  So you have to feel and say whatever you need to, in order to get back to some nearness of your "old" self.  

I just like to see how you're doing.

Take care.</description>

					<description>djuggler: although I don't like the word "blog" either, I disagree with you that it's "nothing more than a website updated regularly".  It has begun to have a secondary meaning as a literary genre distinct in various ways from both diary and dialogue genres.  I wish it had a better name, but I still think a purely technical description misses what's important about the phenomenon.</description>

					<description>I apparently missed whatever it is you are semi-sorry for, but whatever you feel, say, or do is fine right now. I've learned to never say never. Until the voicer of criticism has gone through EXACTLY the same thing, no comment is best. I've never lost a spouse and would not presume to give any advice, criticism etc to someone who has. Everyone does the best they can under the circumstances.</description>

					<description>Glad you're up and running again, AT.
I'd have been pissed about getting the letter, too.  There have been days this past year when the only thing that got me through was knowing that my dear friend's heart went to a pregnant mum.  
I'm glad the boys are doing alright.  Enjoy Pigpen's singing.  Hope he rocks out!</description>

					<description>I'm glad your back.  

I missed the controversy and was burning with curiosity.  I just got myself updated and have to say that I probably would have had the same response -- "I don't want to hear it.  I doesn't make me feel better.  This sucks!  ARGH!"

Love the new skin.</description>

					<description>Although I was enjoying the old skool HTML (it was kinda fun checking to see what would turn up next), I'm still glad to see you letting others in. Just remember that it's always ok to take a break from it now and then. Or not. :)</description>

					<description>AT, I have been reading your ah hem page (LOL) for a while and wanted to say I would have thought the same thing about the donor crap but hey...you have a right to say/feel whatever you want.
I never could comment on your old website so lets see if I can on this one! I'm sure you were wondering who this guest was! 
Now I am hitting submit...wonder if it will post!</description>

					<description>I actually went a little nutso when I saw you were gone last week. Might have been a little to dramatic myself there for a minute....I was thinking of you when I was listening to Art Bell the other night and he was talking about his wife who had died really unexpectantly, Ever heard of him? He's bizare but cool. Anyways, so long rambling post from some stranger in CA , glad, very happy to see your words again.</description>

					<description>Ya know, I think about you and the little guys a lot.  You don't know me, but it is pretty excruciating to watch you go through this.  I lost my dad about five years ago to leukemia, and knowing a.) there was nothing I could do about it, b.) that he was dying young, and c.) that it was completely fucking up the rest of my life was pretty crippling for, well, a long time.  Much longer than I would have wanted it to be.  Which isn't to say it didn't eventually get better, but it was a much less linear, and much more messy process, than I would have predicted.

Yell.  Get mad.  Jump up and down.  Go out in the shed and throw bottles.  Get a mohawk.  Start smoking.  The good news is that you get a free pass for a while, because some really unbelievable shit has happened to you and you just need to get through it, by pretty much whatever means are necessary.

You can yell at us.  We'll understand.  I will, anyway.</description>

					<description>Well, thats the thing, I don't really have a free pass.  I gotta be a good Dad for the only childhood that MastaG and Pigpen get.  
I don't mind that, tho.</description>

					<description>at the risk of sounding repetative...I'm glad you're back.  And bravo for being an excellent Dad to your boys, I read you everyday and with all that you've been through, the fact that you are there for them shines through everything. They are blessed to have you.</description>

					<description>Well, I guess I meant you get a free pass within reason.  You're right about the little guys, of course.

You know, I realize this is probably utterly the wrong thing to say, but there is one good thing here:  They didn't lose both parents, and you're obviously one hell of a dad.</description>
