A Rite of Passage

There are times in a man's life. This is one of those times. I bought a Mac. A G5 to be exact. A twenty-inch screen. It's like having a Mercedes Sports Car on my desk. This thing is so cool, and so beautiful I can hardly stand it. I've been waiting ten years for this. It's everything and more.

This was the kind of weekend that Richard Ford has written about and Ian McEwan is writing about in "Saturday." A fresh tossed salad sort of couple of days sprinkled with friends, a leg of lamb, and good tidings and a spiffy new toy. Life is good. It must be, because my 83 year old father took a dive off a ladder today and lived to tell the tale. It was only a two stepper but he went headlong into the floor...Must have been the Sox loss to Seattle that caused him to lose his equilibrium.
