Making thousands jealous . . . yet again

I received a notice on my Blogger sign-in page that I am eligible to sign up for Google's new G-mail. I let it sit there for several days, until my son brought up G-mail and how cool it is, as well as how hard it is to get an account. We looked on E-Bay, where dozens of folks are selling --- and, amazingly to me, bidding on --- G-mail accounts to the tune of a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars! Yes, I can be a step or two behind on pop-culture news when it comes to tech stuff. I told him about the notice (which, it turns out, only 1 out of every 20 Blogger vets received, if memory serves), and he went nuts when I let him have my opportunity at an account.
Then I found out I could also create my own account! So I am hipper than I know. Friends who know me, e-mail me using my full first and last name @gmail.com. Internet weirdos who don't know me will have to be content using the anonymous comment feature . . .
Also, props to the A-Man for helping me get my blog back to the way it is supposed to look!
