Time to get a new answering machine?

Our is pretty long in the tooth, and messages are increasingly garbled. Why do I mention this? I think someone tried to leave a message about this blog, but the return number was garbled. FWIW, if you are shy about leaving a comment in the comments section, you can contact me at trollingshallows@msn.com and leave a message.

It’s an email I set up specifically for potentially spammy correspondence, so I don’t mind publicizing it. I’ll probably add it to the About page, if it’s not already there.
