I'm Just Sitting Here Watching the Wheel Go Round & Round
Hi.
We are experiencing technical difficulties here at The View Behind Home Plate today. It seems that my laptop can't pick up the Wi-Fi signal. Actually, the truth is that I have no idea what's wrong with my computer. It's just that the spinny blue circle is happening. That's all I can tell you. I just made that Wi-Fi signal stuff up.
So, here's the thing: I was going to write a very inspirational and touching post today. It was going to be AMAZING. But I cannot function much longer on this desktop computer because it reminds me of the Wang computers I used in 1992 at the Republican National Committee and I'm afraid I'll start writing an essay about how we should re-elect George H.W. Bush. Actually, the truth is that I have absolutely nothing to write about today. There is less than ZERO happening in my brain today, so that spinny circle has good timing.
I had planned to take my laptop to the Geek Squad people today. I had planned to try very hard not to look like an idiot while handing the computer to those guys with a confused look on my face. I had planned to try to say something more intelligent to them than, "Hi, Smart people. Here's my laptop. It has a spinny blue circle." Then I had planned to not start sweating and feeling like my head was going to explode when they start using words like modem and service provider and anti-virus software. Actually, the truth is that I conveniently ran out of time to go to the Geek Squad because I spent too much time yapping with one of my favorite girlfriends, Mrs. Fitz, at Pei-Wei, I'm sure those guys are a real blast, but I kinda like Mrs. Fitz, Pad Thai and refilling my Diet Coke at the fancy Coke machine a lot better than computer geeks.
Speaking of Diet Coke, this is a conversation that Drew and I had in the car the other day.
Drew: "Mom, can I have some of your Diet Coke?"
Me: "No, you can't. It's not good for little kids. It's actually not good for anyone."
Drew: "When I grow up, I'm going to drink Diet Coke, I think. And maybe, I might drink some beer."
Me: "You know, just because you're a grown-up, it doesn't mean you have to drink either one. It would be just fine if you decided not to drink Diet Coke or beer. That would actually be a good decision."
Drew: "Really? Oh. I thought beer made you handsome, because Daddy likes beer."
Isn't that sweet? Or something like that?
That's all I got today, y'all. I'll check back in once I finish chatting it up with the smarty pants computer guys.
