One annoying thing about getting a brand new computer at work is that when you go home, your old laptop seems so much slower. My laptop seems like it is about to keel over and slip into a coma. This is frankly, depressing. For one, I now have new computer on my want list, and two, every time I go home, my computer... well, she continues to act like a lethargic version of my work computer.

Last time I wrote to you -- yes I know that it has been too long -- I was lamenting the state of the nation. Well I still am, but at least others are as well. Or for something a little less highbrow, this is what Eric G. emailed me. I’m going to sit on this election loss for a while, maybe I’ll have a good angle in a week or so. Until then, my forecast remains gloomy.

Life at my new job is going well, at least.
