“Did you know I also invented the hand?”
It took some long hours, some trial and error as well as some rapid-fire expletives, but I finally have my new operating system installed along with an updated browser. I had not envisioned this task being one akin to a visit in Hell. My vision of Hell, by the way, is being tied up with bungee cord and enduring seven straight days of dialogue between Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin about the failures of the Clinton administration.
But everything seems to be running pretty well now and I have these pretty little buttons on my Yahoo toolbar that actually seem to believe I am going to click on one sooner or later. And I may. Only 56 more hours until I’m a half-century old. I might as well live a little.
On those days when all works well with the Internet and information for which you would have waited for weeks back in the old days flows freely like ice-cold water from a mountain spring, you just can’t help but give thanks to the creator of this wonderful invention. That’s right — I’m talking about Al Gore, inventor of the Internet. Thanks Al! And thanks so much for also inventing WiFi and Meals Ready to Eat. They both came in handy during Hurricane Rita.
