While drafting a new blog post on a recent Napoleon exhibit in Richmond, something went drastically wrong with my computer/internet connection. I thought I had placed the post in draft, but accidentally published it. I changed the settings and continued working on the piece, only to discover that none of that work was saved. I hope to publish the actual article soon.
Here’s a view of the entrance to the exhibit. Vic

In this podcast series First Impressions (59 episodes so far), hosts Kristin and Maggie hilariously discuss the brilliance of Jane Austen and how her novels give us unparalleled insight into our own lives and characters. There’s no shame in loving (and obsessively re-reading) Austen’s novels, which are just as fresh and relevant as they were 200 years ago. Kristin and Maggie are here to give a big [lady] finger to any haters who say otherwise!

Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Stuff happens – I would like to read any thoughts you might have on the singular use of “they.”
Not a problem. I was thinking it was something computer related as it hadn’t made it up to the blog yet. Thanks for the picture.
No worries.

Proof positive that there are elves inside our computers. No worries, Vic – it happens to us all at some point or another!
I thought I’d missed it, having been overwhelmed with personal technology posts, etc. I’m glad I did not miss it after all.
Thank you very much for your site/newsletter.
The Jane Austen Society in Brazil was so interesting. I so enjoyed the vimeo documentary about JA that was part of the Morgan Library Museum exhibit. What wonderful and interesting insights.
Your followers might enjoy the book/memoir by Amy Smith, “All Roads Lead to Austen.” A year in the central and south Americas of book group discussions of 3 of Austen’s books. Very entertaining, interesting.
Thank you again!
