What a maroon!

Sorry for the current ugliness of the blog. I followed Blogger's suggestion to switch to the new template, believing its promise that I could easily switch back to my old design, and now I can't figure out how to! Nor can I figure out how to get rid of the dumb highlighting behind the text of my last entry. Maybe I should type out my blog on my Royal typewriter and make mimeographed copies to send to interested friends using the Pony Express. Geez.
