The New Notebook
January 03, 2007

In late November, seeing a need for portable computing capability, I placed an order for a new notebook.

Basically, work was ramping up. Working at home is great, but sometimes you’ve just got to get out of the house. If you put in enough hours working and then don’t go out in the evening, you can run a whole week without stepping foot out of the house. As a matter of fact, I haven’t put gas in my car in a month. (Although I will admit that we usually take Berta’s car out when we go out for family trips.)

21 minutes + 1

I think the threshhold of my bathroom is a mind-wiping device.

At 5:53am, I woke up unexpectedly. No alarm, although there was one additional child in the bed at the time, and they tend to kick. I mused at the idea of how he might be affected when the alarm went off in seven minutes, and concluded that he’d simply sleep through it, like any good 2-year-old. It then occurred to me that the alarm wouldn’t be going off in seven minutes, but in eight.

There is a reason why I haven’t posted anything in over a week. Actually there are a few reasons.

Chief among these reasons is the Christmas holiday, of course. I don’t want to make this post a cheap recap of what was a thoroughly agreeable Christmas, so I’ll save the details of the event for another post. But know that it was a good year for the whole holiday. Visits went smoothly, gifts went smoothly, the kids went smoothly… With just a few hiccups that went unnoticed until the whole thing was over, it was pretty darn good.
