What a great time to start a blog, right?

I hope you’ll join me in the wonder world of bloggery, finding entertainment in my errors, correcting the facts I get wrong, and scanning my posts for the facts that will (I hope) lie embedded in the words, words, words.

To begin with, let me provide a brief explanation of my blog title. Old-timers may remember that “Beautiful Balloons” was the title that my late husband, Don, and I used for our column in Buyer’s Guide from the start. It was a reference to the song containing the lyric, “Up, up, and away in my beautiful balloon,” the fact that comics communicate via speech balloons, and that Superman’s catch phrase was, “Up, up, and away!”

Get it?

Got it!

Good!
