The House Guest Who Stayed Almost Forever Part Deux
The “House Guest” who almost stayed forever remains in my life by way of phone calls to my wife. They generally begin at about 9:30 in the morning and there are at least a half dozen during the day. Now, … Continue reading
'Tis over and still smarting

Okay, climate change is important
And, I’m strongly in favor of it, however, right now I’m more in favor of fixing our own situation at home and not the world’s. This seems patently absurd to me in this economic environment: U.S. will contribute to a … Continue reading

Computers, life, etc.
For several months, I’ve gone without an internal DVD writer and just used an external unit. I purchased an internal unit online on Monday it came quickly. By way of background, I’ve had a PC since its first day window … Continue reading
