This morning I was flipping thru the channels on TV and found an old re-run of Ozzie and Harriet.  That was really strange  for many reasons....first it was in black and white....We are so spoiled to seeing everything in living color.  And every single person there....Ozzie and Harriet and even little Ricky..are dead now..  that was upsetting.  The story line was funny......even funnier now that we do everything on the computer./....Evidently Ozzie was the treasurer for his lodge....and he was trying to get his monthly report done.....with a paper ledger and an ink pen and a mechanical crank style adding machine.  Ricky wanted to use the machine to do his math homework...and of course he got told that machines cannot teach you anything....hmmm......then Ozzie was finished with his report and a friend dropped by to pay his lodge dues.......which meant Ozzie had to do the whole thing OVER again...in ink.........Then naturally when he was just finishing up...........another lodge member came by to do the same thing......Ozzie was ready to pull his hair out................and now?  All he would do is pull up the file and change a few numbers and reprint it.....5 mins tops!.......
So.........the next time I curse at my computer.......maybe I will think about poor old Ozzie and his crank style adding machine that was the hottest thing back then.......and maybe it will make me smile.......

Sorry that I took so long to get back.  I was busy living life and got overtaken by events.  My Kindle Fire did arrive and I love it.  I know people who say that they don't even want one of those things but......I can tell you now...it is great.  I take it to work with me and can read during  quiet times.  My work has lots of quiet time......My boss says he should get a commission from the sale of my books because he thinks I wrote them all on his time.  Not true.....but he likes to say that. It is also good for those times when I take my mother to her doctors appointments and have to wait.

I am almost finished with my Nonfiction course online. ( Creative Writers Institute)   It has been very hard for me.  I have discovered that I find writing nonfiction to be a chore.  I  probably won't rush out to write articles for papers and magazines.....it could happen...but I think I prefer to make things up for entertainment instead of telling it like it is for education.

Speaking of work.....It is time to get ready to go there.  Take care all....I wish you good weather and happy times.

I should not be wishing my life away...

I am sitting here wishing it were tomorrow......My Kindle fire is supposed to arrive.  If it is late, I will so disappointed.  ohh well.....maybe it will be on time and by this time tomorrow I can be reading a book or playing on facebook.......wait.....I have been on Facebook for the past half hour........yeahhh...but it will be better on the Kindle.......right?  hhehehehe...........
