Computer GlitchesA lot of weird happenings are occurring in this household around the computers. If I didn’t know better, I’d almost think we were haunted by the ghost of a frustrated programmer. Then again, maybe a computer leprechaun climbed in my tote bag and hitchhiked back from Ireland with us.

They brought pizza that we baked and shared.

A trip to the eye doctor with Al so I could drive him home after his eyes were dilated, a quick lunch, and off to writing class, and most of my energy was consumed. We were expecting Al’s niece and husband to come by this evening, but he had to work too late,… click here to continue November, 03rd, 2005 |
