My Computer,

it is dead. So please forgive the brief silence as I wait for a new one and grieve the loss of the last one.

It was good one, that Old Faithful. Saw me through at least four or five full manuscripts, three email address changes, three career changes, and two children. Yeesh! It's like losing a dear friend. I will miss you, dear OF. But I will also be very glad when the new one comes so that I can go back to working from my own desk instead of these carels (sp?) at the library. I have 12 minutes remaining in this online session. SIGH.
