It is rare for me to remove a post from my blog but it has happened a few times over the years. The most recent case involves something I posted on Wednesday, February 7th, 2007. I am reproducing that post below along with the comments that it attracted.

I’ll include a further comment of my own at the end.

Xy and I are celebrating our 16th anniversary today. This might be a good time to revisit our infamous puppet-show wedding. Or if you’re in…
An hour of music. You tell me: what do these 21 tracks have in common? Besides a general level of awesomeness.
Here’s a mix of twenty-one tracks to inspire and uplift, occasionally veering into the cornball but mostly keeping it real, including music by Oneida, Ella…
Here’s a mix of fourteen tracks for the equinox, about an hour of music, a mystical blend of jazz, electronica, a little hip-hop and some…
Our open house is today, and we hope plenty of prospective buyers will show up. Our old friend Brian Rice recommended that we should have…
For no particular reason, here’s a mix of 18 tracks with a vaguely animalistic theme. It’s an hour of music, aggressively eclectic — some might…
I got so much positive feedback on my last mix (well, it doesn’t take much to encourage me) that I thought I’d give it another…
