Withdrawal

I've spent the past 36 hours computer-less. Dunno what happened. Somehow, some of my windows files became corrupt (apparently, they became drunk with too much unchecked wealth and power and destroyed the middle class). Anyway, nothing would load. Fabulous computer guys helped me out for a mere hundred bucks. Now all is well. Except everything that I've ever loaded onto my computer is gone. At least until I can find all those back up disks I so religiously made. Little thing about backing up, it only works if you don't use the C.D.'s for coasters or forget to unpack them from whatever box you decide to put them in that you can't find a place for anyway. Ugh.

In the grand scheme of things (ok, even in the mini scheme of things, in light of recent national developments) no biggie. Except how did I ever survive before Al Gore invented the Internet? Did he invent e-mail too? No, wait, I think that was Spiro Agnew or somebody. Either way, nice job!
