Outed!

It's been a long time between posts because I've been in a wrestling match with Gmail and Google+.  I set up an account there, experimenting with it for the Significant Other, and locked away my nickname - which they refuse to allow me to post as - in her account.  So, yes: my name is Erin Butler, which apparently I am going to be posting here as in the foreseeable future; but I'm still trying to get my nickname back.  So we'll have to see what happens next.
