Computers and Campouts
Awhile back now, Kathryn’s computer was stolen out of her apartment. It was a scary event, but since that time she ordered a new, much more powerful one. It arrived Wednesday night and since I’m working from Memphis this week, I’ve been keeping one eye on setting it up while I read about the importance of daily fiber intake for an article I’m writing. While doing this, I realized I really enjoy setting up new computers. I make a list of the programs I need to cobble together and methodically go down it, downloading, transferring, installing, configuring, and scratching off every time. There’s something, almost comforting—no, more like relaxing in the process.
In unrelated news, I reserved a beachside campsite on Lake Michigan for Casey’s bachelor party yesterday. The weekend before the wedding, we’ll be heading for a weekend of camping, golfing and bar hopping in Muskegon. I can’t wait.
