Another List

I like to make lists for my own use.

I have already listed the plays Andrew and I have seen. I have also already listed the opera performances Andrew and I have attended. Sometime I shall have to catalog the orchestra concerts we have heard, as well as the recitals we have attended.

This is a list of the dance performances Andrew and I have attended.

Obviously, in the world of dance, there is New York City Ballet, and then there is everything else. Nevertheless, I am pleased Andrew and I have had an opportunity to witness a few different companies.

    Josh,

    I am very saddened that Andrew has decided to close his blog.

    Merry Christmas to both of you.

    Hey, Dane.

    And Merry Christmas to you!

    Andrew has not closed his blog. Perhaps there is something wrong with your browser? Or perhaps blogger is acting up? Or perhaps Andrew's post yesterday about the Learned Hand biography made you wish he HAD closed his blog?

    If you click on "Andrew's Blog" on my blogroll, it will take you straight to Andrew's most recent post. The link is valid, and blogger appears to be working.

    Merry Christmas!

    Josh

    Thanks, Josh.

    I think something is wrong with my operations system or with Google. In the past I just always entered "andrewandjoshua" or "joshuaandandrew" into the search engine and "entered" it. The last posting of the desired blog then always appeared at the top of the page. For the last week Google has apparently "forgotten" all of Andrew's posts after October, 2007 while "remembering" all of yours after that date. Hence, I wrongly assumed that Andrew had removed all his 2008 posts, together with comments.

    Andrew mentioned to me earlier this year that he frequently and seriously considered shutting down his blog. (I am relieved now that he has not.)

    For now on I will log on directly to each blog.

    Yes, I read Andrew's last post: Ohhhh, my! For that I should write in the comment block a review - a LONG review - of George Olah's first organic chemistry book on "free carbanions."

    A couple of days ago, I read an article about Google having reconfigured its search mechanisms. Apparently Google toys with its search mechanisms constantly. Perhaps that accounts for what happened.

    On the other hand, Google may have decided that Andrew was boring. Andrew's post about the Learned Hand biography may have been the last straw and prompted Google to take action!
