So, that’s trifling in a nutshell. My dear friend Sterling Branton often accuses me of being “Trifling” he usually pairs this with another adjective, sometime several. And yes….I can be. But right now, I am trying to get over the blog learning curve. And yes, part of me is insisting that there are 9 year olds with more mastery over this code than I have. I feel…well….trifling. But I will persevere where the 9 year olds will not. When they have gone the way of the dinosaur, I will still be here! I will live on, to trifle another day!
