| What? interesting, but, see below ... |
It all started when I was having one of my numerous altercations with my computer. It was one of those moments when the results I was getting pursuing the commands that I was entering were not what I wanted. Of course, they were the logical results of something that I had done earlier. BUT, I was of the opinion that what I had done earlier should not have caused such pain. I delved into the actions that could have caused this uncomfortable back and forth between man and machine. It cost me about 30 minutes of "delving" which, truth to say, at some points was more"deviling" than "delving." Along the way I took a five minute coffee break during which I let my brain fish around for some tactical actions that I could try in order to solve the machine's problem. It worked! I tried something that led me to the logical action that thawed the cyber freeze between my "bits" and Lenovo's "bytes."
Along the way, this happened in the attic of my grey matter. I realized that I have zero comprehension of how the electronic tools upon which I lean so heavily and, for the most part, comfortably. I realized that I am totally at their mercy. I wondered how anyone could have figured out how to make this stuff work. I wondered about how many "languages" the masters of these inventions know in order to make so many different levels of logic serve us humans. At that moment and in some following ones over the last two days I came to the conclusion that have come a long way in the years between my youth and my present state in its antonymous definition = senility!
I now move on to another realization that has dawned on me - that the people whom I know and who check in to the Heavenly Hotel are by and large younger, much younger than I am. It happened again just the other day and I am very sure that it will continue being that way for many more sunrises. It just so happens that along the road of life I have come to know many, many people. I have even come to like some of them. Furthermore, I still remember some of them by first name, middl initial and last name. Really! They are not even relatives. Yet, they have the same end that we all do...except that I wonder why 95% of them do it while they are still so young.
In the meantime I have come to have a couple of inspirations that I will be sharing with you all. Of course one is about death and dying. The other is about doing something that you think will kill you but brings nothing but hapiness and satisfaction. Stay tuned as you enjoy the palindrome at the top of the page, It will keep you from crying at my funeral.
