Sorry Folks, but in case you were waiting in breathless anticipation, let me cool your fevered brow; I’m not planning on posting some high-larious April Fool’s jest on my blog. <\/p>\n

And the fact is, I tend to be extremely na\u00efve and trusting, so I’m usually the butt of these things. Which probably goes a long way toward explaining why I so dislike them.<\/p>\n
So I’m afraid you’ll have to look elsewhere for your April First jollies. And if you have any of your own planned, please leave me out of them.
