A bridge to find a new world to explore

Not one just outside my front door

Some place far away, a simpler kind

Nothing to carry, a load off my mind

A bridge, to the warm heart of a land

To a country where there are no demands

Across the equator, and southern plain

Friendly people walking down the lane

In Africa, Malawi, holds these treasures

Landlocked, the lake so pure, a pleasure

Muli bwanji, is the way to say hello

Always extend a greeting, as you go

Happy people, grace this humble place

And surely bring a smile, to a hardened face

For those of us using the iOS App for WordPress, we received an email yesterday telling us that our WordPress App had signed us out because there was a security issue.  If you haven’t seen it, this is it:

Great. So, it logged me out, and I logged back in, and lo and behold, the reader isn’t working!!!!!! I get as far as one hour ago and, boom, everything else is gone. Anyone else having this problem? Honestly, I’m disgusted over the whole reader crap that’s been going on and this just adds to it.

Hey!  Happiness Engineers!  I…am not happy!

So silly were they, thinking he was a fool

How they talked about him, behind his back

What they didn’t know, was he was no tool

Deep down inside, they really didn’t know Jack

It was only a matter of time
And everyone watching knew

No matter how hard he tried
Sam was always dropping Lou

It became a daily occurrence
People drove for miles to see

If Lou would finally realize
Sam was doing it purposely

He got a kick out of watching
A warped sense of humor, the nut

Ladies walking by, would scowl
At poor Lou, sitting there, on his butt

Always vowing to seek revenge
Sam knew it would never happen

Foibles and follies, it’s who they were
Left the folks laughin’ and clappin’
