Did I write these posts in the future?!

No, I did not discover some quantum wormhole that allows me to post from the future.

Because some of these posts read best in a certain order, and I could not find any easy way to have this blogger tool show posts in "oldest first" order, I've had to hack the dates of my posts to make them appear in the order I would like to have them appear.  So pretty much ignore the post dates.  Sorry about that.
