Another glorious morning in cougar-land. That term still makes me grin. I got up at 7 a.m. and fixed my boy -toy coffee as he turned on the morning shows, both of us doing our wake-up routines that make up our sooooo exciting life. Both of us turn on the comps or reboot, or just check to be sure they function. Our stations are a reflection of us as individuals. Mine is homey and not so cluttered/ The wall behind it has a poster copy of Sir Frank Dicksee’s “Romeo and Juliet ” flanked by wall sconces bearing red candles; the wall these hang on is papered with fake stone. It makes it an attractive vignette.

His, on the other hand, looks like command central with 3 pc’s and 1 laptop . One pc runs a SETI program and functions as our answering machine ( which makes me wonder if ET might access my answering machine some day 0.o !! ); another and his laptop are his telecommute bases, the third pc is for websearches, downloads, gaming and music. It’s hard to beleive six years ago we only had one pc, and it was used.

In fairness, all the ones we have now are rebuilt by him, but still…. we are making progress from only having one and taking turns to having several….but he still has the greater share. Still, if it wasn’t for him, I might not own any. I’m not the computer illiterate I was, but he still has a wildness in his eyes as he tries to not give in to frustration as I struggle with a machine that he handles like an extension of his body. I wonder some days if he absorbs computer knowledge by osmosis, since he’s never had any formal training. He watches our tiny granddaughter with amazement as I just gape, while she, at age 3, whizzes through things like she was a geek in a former life. He had to password protect the BIOS after she accessed it and made changes in his programming. He sat and watched her do it; didn’t stop her. He wanted to see how far she’d get. Apparently she did pretty well; it was his turn to gape.

So much for my morning ramble.
