Time, Stop Dead in Your Tracks

Wow... I think this is the earliest I've been headed to bed in... months! Oh well... I'll take advantage of it and get a good night's rest, I reckon. Thus, the joys of being without my favorite computer (no offense to the work laptop that I spend every waking moment with). I miss the constant hum of my sweet mack daddy machine. It was QUIET in my office today!!! It threw me off my game, for sure. I miss the tunes, the pictures, the unblocked web (the work VPN blocks (and logs all visits to!) certain web sites including MySpace, YouTube, etc., etc... basically anything fun). I used the time I would usually spend on the big machine tonight to watch a few videos. The only VCR we have has been hooked up to the big computer (although it hasn't actually played video since the ATI driver died several months back). But with the power supply completely kaput on that machine, I figured I might as well unhook the VCR and bring it in to my bedroom TV. There were several video tapes that I hadn't unearthed in a while. After I knocked the dust and spiderwebs off, I enjoyed an evening of reminiscing. I love watching videos (and looking at still pics). Somebody remind me of that the next time I try to hide from the camera. Just go ahead and push me out there in front of it. I'm sure I'll love you for it later.

So, John R. tells us there's a huge gigantic oh-my-gosh-we're-not-gonna-make-it (2 inches predicted!!!) snowstorm on its way to the Southeast (specifically NC, specifically for John R. Charlotte). Hope you found all your must-haves, John (ball cap, especially... lol), and are all strapped in for the wild ride. Hope your home -- and the city -- can dig out when all is said and done. Love your sarcasm, by the way. You're my kind of humorful. ;)

Finally, because I'm out of words and the Internet has so many to choose from, I'll steal a few quotes for you to ponder:

An inch of time cannot be bought with an inch of gold.
  Chinese Proverb

Nothing is as new as something which has been long forgotten.
  German proverb

The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
  Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-Swiss-U.S. scientist.

Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.
  John Dryden (1631-1700) British poet, dramatist and critic.
