Progress!
I finally plugged in our new desktop computer for the first time, seventy-one days after it arrived. It'll be days and days longer before I try to do anything useful with it. Amazing how an old man like me manages to keep so insanely busy! -
To contemplate and giggle over
I'm amazed that some folks actually see me as a conventional religionist. Nothing for it, at my age. People used to see me as a street hoodlum. I overcame that, but it took a long time.
