Testing, testing, one, two, three

I've been having trouble getting comments e-mailed to me: they're not all showing up, and while the problem is probably with my e-mail, it would help support to have specific comments  that haven't shown up to look at and diagnose with.  So, please comment here to give test cases.  (Or, maybe the problem will have disappeared as mysteriously as it started.)

How's life?  How's your favorite TV show?  Read any good books lately?  Got any good jokes?

I think it's mostly that epic poetry is dead. My reading these days falls mainly into four categories: fanric, old favorites, stuff for work (theology, church administration, etc.), and ebooks I can get for free. When I have money, that will probably expand again.

That sounds like my reading for -- wow, there was a big chunk of time where that's all I read, looking back on it. From midway through university, all the way through grad school, and then it expanded a little to an occasional novel and slightly-more-frequent nonfiction reading. My reading really only re-exploded when I had a kid, because "relax in kid's room with a book while he drifts off to sleep" turns out to be, well, really relaxing. As a result I've read more in the past two years than I think I did in the 5 or 6 before that. Though there's still a lot of fanfic, free, and old favorites in my life. (Last night, I read a long Sherlock kidfic story. For example.)
