Back!
You may (or most likely not) have noticed that this blog disappeared for a few days. Basically, several of you were kind enough to email me and say: "Hey, it's not that hard to figure out who you are."
And that was helpful. And it also required a reaction. So I took down the blog while I thought a bit. And what I ended up doing is taking down most of the old posts.
This is not because I'm not proud of them (although, wow, some of them are really longer than they need to be). And in truth, I never thought I was completely anonymous. But I was perhaps not terribly cautious, and from now on, I wanted to be a bit more careful.
I don't have the time right now to edit those old posts and make sure I'm ok with them being seen by a wider audience, so away they went to a secret hiding place. Those posts still exist, along with your treasured comments, in a more private area of the digital world. Really, truly, your comments are the best part, and part of what made taking everything down so very hard. But part of what made this fun was I just went through all of them and reveled in those comments, and they are still wonderful.
Anyway, the site is back up now - edited, redacted, but I think better. Because now I can keep writing, if with more awareness. And I'm hoping this new setup will mean that I am, in the end, less paralyzed.
Thank you all.
(Oh! If you were following the "other" blog - the one about saying Kaddish - I made that one "invitation only". I believe I already added the people who emailed me last time wanting access, but please feel free to do so if I left you out.)
