Feeling much better about it all today. Things ARE movingÖ just at a glacial pace, thatís all. Nobody cut off a utility, or turned off the porno channel or anything.

The weather here is too good for me to be in the house locked to the computer so I pressed an old Mac Classic into service. That thing is amazing reallyÖ it can still talk to my other computers, and hasnít failed once inÖ -- I just looked to see how old it wasÖ It was made in 1990. I would have guessed it was much older than that. Iíve actually only had it for less than half its life. I bought it for $30 at the Sally Ann. Long story short ñ itís kind of "lugable" and can be taken out on the back porch.

This has proved entertaining almost at once. Iím sitting out there thinkingÖ when youíre trying to write something you do a lot of that. People think youíre just sitting there. AnyhooÖ Iím just sittiní there, and my neighbour comes walking into the driveway and up the back stairs. Heís on his way to the back door and he doesnít see me siting there. So I say "Boo" and totally scare the crap out of him. I thought he was gonna have a heart attack. Fíing fun eh?

I guess working outside is a little more distracting than Iím used to, but heyÖ itís worth it.
