Whoops! Wrong email address!

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address and, without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile ..... somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read;

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2002

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and
you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones.
I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!

Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here

Vacation Time

Have you ever noticed that when you take time off it always seems to go by faster then if you actually worked that week. Well needless to say I have been off since Dec. 27th and tomorrow it comes to an end and I have to resume my normal life. You spend all that time before it just waiting for it to finally arrive and before you know it your already back to work. All you can say is wow where did all that time go and do I have to go back already.

Well at least it was an interesting week, I spent it with my son putting together his new computer. Well actually it was re-installing all of his old drives in a new tower with a new motherboard. But it was actually quite interesting. I might even consider doing this again in a couple months to put together a computer of my own. The idea of building your own computer is actually great way to learn more about the inner workings of your computer and it is just a great experience.

After all that was done I got a chance to finally relax and try to rest up for my return to work which was approaching way too fast. But here it is time to go back to normal routine and all I can do is look back and wonder if there was any way possible to slow down time long enough to really sit back and enjoy the break from work. Well I guess I better stop now before I really get carried away and bore my own self to sleep. In fact I think I am falling asleep right now so good night and until next time when I bore you later.
