My Ugly Gray Stripe

Welcome to "The Gods Are Bored!" We don't come knocking on your door with tracts. But we're always polite to those nice Adventist ladies who visit us monthly. Why should we be nasty to them? They aren't nasty about the bored gods.

Can't blame the faeries for this one. In an act of hubris (or stupidity, or both), I went into my blogger template and started trying to add links to my sidebar.

Might as well have opened the hood of the car and tried to put in a new transmission.

Now I'm saddled with an Ugly Gray Stripe.

If anyone knows how to fix said Ugly Gray Stripe, you can contact me through my profile page. This might be more economical for my Australian reader (readers?) than picking up the telephone.

If no one knows how to jettison the Ugly Gray Stripe, then I will live with it. Life is full of Ugly Gray Stripes that either linger to trip us up, or come for awhile to trip us up, or just have always been there, part of the landscape.

Ugly Gray Stripes used to bother the heck out of me. Now I'm older, and properly medicated, and able to see the humor in just about everything.

So we at "The Gods Are Bored" welcome our Ugly Gray Stripe and hope you will too!

And if you think the Ugly Gray Stripe is punishment from that One Big Kahuna God for what goes on here, please be advised that I regularly play golf during thunderstorms, so he has ample opportunity for revenge.
