"...and so to bed" (Pepys)

One of the things I hate about computers is that you have to expect the unexpected...or is it unexpect the expected? Anyway I tried to get Rhoda's email contacts exported from hotmail.com to Yahoo.com and after I went through a whole garbagepailful of entries, the instructions were to go to Rho's Yahoo email and "...click on the import/export button in the upper rightfield corner." So when I got there...no such button in any corner...top or bottom. So now what was I supposed to do? I sighed heavily, said a few pater nosters, mater nosters, and mater notatallers. Yes, and I also said the "Sh'ma". And then I came right to this blog post to vent my frustration.
Today is Rho's bowling day (she seems to have a "day" for anything and everything these days!). But that's OK with me. It's nice and quiet and peaceful in the apartment and I am free to do whatever urges me; and lately I've been having an interesting international conversation with a young lady in the UK who claims to be my cousin...perhaps an ex cousin-in-law while I was married to Thelma a blood cousin. Speaking of Thelma, I was married to her for 30 years, and next year I will have been married to Rhoda for 25 years. Consequently, I will have had two Silver Anniversaries, and I consider that to be one Gold. So now that gold has hit $800 an ounce once more, I'd prefer a gold coin rather than goldware. Make a note, and check out our registry in June 2008 at the US Mint.
