I’ve been a busy beaver, and a tired one at that, but I’m not complaining. We’ve started a project at home: painting the living room. It turns out that one of Cheryl’s coworkers is a bad influence. Painting has always been something Cheryl wanted to do, but I’ve always been able to sidetrack her. Now, she spends all day with someone at work who has painted her house more times in the last two years than my parents have in twenty five. How can I compete with that? What can I say, I’m a product of my upbringing.

I would say that I love my computer, but that might be a little strong. I love my wife, my child, and my family. I don’t love my computer. I do have a really strong liking for my computer. Why? It’s different, and I like being different at times. People say that Windows is the standard, what most everyone else uses. It is what I have to use all day at work. It is what everyone talks about “around the water cooler.” Windows troubleshooting jargon flies like bats at dusk. Then I get to go home and sit with my computer at home. I have a Macintosh.
