Some like it hot

Kathylizhart is really annoyed with me. I got this e-mail from her today:

I wanted to see your blog about hot new bistros, but could not access it.  Admittedly, I'm not very knowledgeable about computers, but I generally manage with other sites.  Further, I don't work so I can't fool around with the company's high speed computers, so it's not worth it for me to spend so much tme looking for something that, since I pay good money to The Sun for a subscription, that I should be able to read, preferably in the paper.  For a subscriber of long standing, this is all wrong. 
 
I e-mailed her back, ....

giving her the link to click on. It may be that she didn't put in the www (the Sun style is not to print it) or perhaps she used the @ sign in the URL. I also told her that actually I hadn't written about any hot new bistros. Here's what she wrote back:

Thanks -- I did get your blog this time.  In Wednesday's paper your column referred to hot new bistros in your blog and I assumed you had written about them.  Guess I also don't know how to read blog-speak.

I had to explain that it was more a case of editor-writing-the-promotion-before-the-blog-started speak. But I want you to know that if any hot new bistros do appear on the scene, you'll read about them here. And I promise, Kathy, you'll also read about them in my print column.
