In case anyone reads my short story Blah Blah, please note that the first paragraph is missing. I have no idea what can be done about that -- probably nothing. The first par was kinda essential, particularly as the last paragraph refers to it.

I will post the first paragraph on my blog, dated: June 12, 2007.
