Just this very second I realized that I have been wasting a ton of time and energy thinking up titles for my posts.  I should have been stealing titles all along, plucking them from the comments of others.

I’ve had worse IT nightmares then this one.  This one was more like a mild case of night sweats.  Nothing substantial to really whine about, but then that is what whining is all about, isn’t it?  The sound we make when we really should be silent.  The sound that the body produces when it is in need of a rebooting.

How about a list?  A list is something to make when we really don’t have time for the whole thing.

How about we make a list of some things that I wish could be easily rebooted?  Just off the top of my head, which translates into: things given no serious consideration whatsoever.

1. My checking account balance.
2. Cleanup debates with small boys.
3. Receding hairlines.
4. Good strawberry shakes and your stomach’s ability to hold it all.
5. Sexual climax.
6. Laughing.
7. A first kiss.
8. Being small enough to play on a slip n slide without killing yourself.
9. A good book.
10. Innocence and wonder.

Now, where was I?  Oh yea, trying to reboot time.  Just hang on tight.  If this works, you may feel a slight sting.  But nothing worse then, say, a bee sting.  I think.



As long as you don’t personify “head crash, no back up” everything should be fine.

I like your list.

I’ve never hit a boy over the head with a stick.  Rock throwing is more my style.

Happy Thursday (again)!

Debi: I’m thinking about taking “receding hairline” off of the list.  I mean, what if I reboot and I end up back in the 80’s with permed hair again?  I’m no rock star, and although I did look like the America’s Greatest Hero guy, we should remember how short-lived his fame really was.

Some crashes are just for the best.
