I'm increasingly finding the need to simplify my life – I guess it's the initial stage of old age. One way to simplify my life with the computer will be to stop sending regular announcements to my various audiences. While I shall continue to put out my listings and Rants (hopefully) every Thursday afternoon I'll depend upon my regular readers to seek them out by remembering:
http://www.dcfreeculture.com
It will of course still have the weekly listing as well as reference to my Rants and Raves. I encourage you to look at my R & R this week because it has some of my personal thoughts on that venture of mine. It can always be found at:
http://www.ronlehkersrants.blogspot.com
You can check periodically. Remember you can always put the blogs on a header or app.(or whatever it is called).
