Happy birthday again, Grace doll

Thursday morning. Stressed. Too much work to do. Sub-contractor quit on me. Computer not co-operating. Graphics conflict. Performance slow. Two syllables slow. Suh-low. "I think I can, I think I can...." said "The Little Engine that Could".

Can't imagine working on Cathy's computer. Cathy is Jaxon's wife. Her computer is old. 24 dog years. Willard Scott says happy birthday old. Her computer could double as a ringer-washer. A hand-cranked microwave. It's got Windows 98. An operating system borrowed from the Smithsonian. We tried to do some upgrades yesterday, but the computer sat there drooling. Computer Down's syndrome. Not necessarily refusing to cooperate. But unable to comprehend the instructions. Moon-faced innocence. Time for computer euthanasia. Remove the feeding tube. Let the computer die with dignity.

Segue to Jeb Bush. He says he has new evidence in the Terri Schiavo case. Jeb says Terri is not in a vegetative state. That medical science can bring Terri back. Apparently Jeb had this epiphany after a "Weekend at Bernies" marathon on the local cable channel. "Hey Bernie".

Segue to Grace. Precious Grace. Talked to her last night. She turned 13. Told her Happy Birthday. For a day at least her innocence had returned. She was happy to hear my voice. Excited. Like totally. Certainly the idea of additional presents didn't hurt either.

Grace Waters. Now 13-yrs old. Aww. Happy birthday again, Grace doll. Enjoy it. Know that you are loved and adored by all.
