A Computer Scare

Whew! As I was typing, I noticed that the menu bar said the laptop was not charging. So, I adjusted the power connection to see what was going on and the external monitor went blank. Oh no, what have I done. I checked all the connections, wiggled my mouse (no, the one on the computer), and finally, it came back with the login prompt and I found I had not lost any information. I am fairly good at saving often as I write, but I had not done so on my cartoon yet.

So, here is the CoV that I did not lose when my laptop acted up. It is pulled from my idea archive. I did not hear anything on the radio that gave me a news-related cartoon.
We went to Nello's Pizza for dinner last night and I order Spaghetti Marinara. The waiter asked if I wanted a full order or a half. I explained that I would want to have enough left for lunch today, so he recommended the full. Wow, that was a lot of food. I definitely have enough left for today, and maybe even for tomorrow. That size portion could have fed 5,000 people and still had 12 baskets left over (notice a second Bible reference today?).

I hooked up the wireless Linksys router last night. I picked it up at Goodwill for $12. It is working fine and I had both my home machine and work machine working using it last night. Ali thinks I can now cancel my 2nd computer option on Cox Internet and save $6 per month. Should I go ahead and do that?

We tried to check out another pawn shop last night, but it had closed at 6pm. No, we are not really looking for anything (except maybe a good deal on a Mac Book Pro or something), so we'll just check it out. Maybe we'll show up on a future taping of Pawn Stars? Or maybe Hardcore Pawn? I guess not, since neither is taped in the PHX area.

The training sessions this week went well. Thanks for asking.

Continue prayers for Kathie. I guess even the pain pills are not fully easing her pain.

Isn't it a shame about Borders going bankrupt? We haven't taken the time to check out the sales. I was thinking maybe the games might be a good value.

We have East Valley Chorale practice on Saturday afternoon. Sure, I enjoy being in the choir, but not giving up part of my Saturday with Kathie. Oh well. I guess we do want to practice at least once with the orchestra before the concert Sunday night.

OK, my stream of consciousness has been reduced to a trickle. I think I will dam it up in hopes of having a new flow of ideas tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Bring your goggles, just in case.
