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.

Roomates

Living alone has it's advantages but having a room mate opens up a whole new world. I have enjoyed the past few months being alone in my house cause I really didn't have to worry about anyone or anything for that matter. But it also came with some disadvantages as well mainly cause you have no one to share you life with. That can be a very somber feeling knowing that you are all alone and even though I am pretty much a loner anyway that life can be a very lonely existence. And not one that most people can deal with. I am fortunate to be able to do things to occupy my time but still the need for other people in your life to give it companionship is a need that most people don't really understand.

This weekend I am taking in my son to live with me and although I had mixed feelings about it I do see the advantages or being able to spend time with him more often than I have in the past. We share some of the same interest in things well mainly the computer and in this example it is a really funny thing. Cause my son use to love to come over to my house and learn about the computer from me. And I got a kick out of showing him things and now after all these years have passed I find myself as the student and him as the teacher, cause I have gotten myself away from the computer until a few years ago. In which my son was excelling in his learnng of the computer I had become stagnant and getting out of touch. I guess you can say it is like buying a computer today it may be top of the line but by next year it is obsolete.

I know at first this transition of taking him in and living with him may be a little bit difficult at first mainly cause of the unfamiliarity of having him around all the time. This I hope will change and will develop into something more of a friendship between the two of us and maybe in draw us closer together then we are at present time. Well I guess I will soon find out what that is going to be like after this weekend.
