Dear Friends,
If you think it's been dull around here in past days, you ain't seen nothin' yet. My laptop's on its way to Memphis, TN, where Dell technicians will chuckle as they spend 9.7 seconds on a replacement job that is costing me $400.
Last week I stepped on my computer, while the lid was closed. Yes. Stepped on it. The LCD monitor hemorrhaged, obscuring a good third of the screen. And then I dropped the computer. Yes. Dropped it. After stepping on it. And that liquid crystal stuff just oozed everywhere inside the screen, making it impossible to see anything at all.
Had some nice conversations with some gentlemen in India. One of them instructed me to get a Phillips screwdriver. He proceeded to talk me through the deconstruction of my machine. When we'd stripped off several pieces, I lost the phone connection. His boss called back. Didn't seem to know as much as his employee. Way of the world. Through no fault of his, fixing didn't happen.
So, I'm told it will by "7 to 10 business days" from yesterday before I'll be back at the business of communicating with you. Perhaps, during that time, you could contemplate some of the expressive things you might say, were you ever to post any comments.

I know you will take this opportunity away from the digital world to see some nature. Just don't get any on your shoes.
