I was going to start sharing some of the stories I took down from my Mom and Aunt Dot (octogenarians) we (thier kids) call The Twins. They were hilarious. But somehow when I was copying them off of floppy disk onto external harddrive.. they disappeared. Floppies are gone and so are the stories. And so are my university papers, and children stories and plays I have written and poems. I have printed copies of some early drafts. Some stuff is gone gone gone.

I am more than a bit nonplussed.
