Arrrgh!!!

When I get back to the computer, I'll have several things to talk about.....the incredible wind that we've had the last two days, along with very chilly weather. One stand of tulips in an unprotected spot were denuded of petals.

I've been pondering the drawbacks to having a computerized life, especially for those who have never learned to do things from scratch to begin with. The same problem existed when they tried to teach us "New Math." It failed because there wasn't enough focus on the basics. I think that jazz performers have to learn Classical music to be able to depart from the "rules."

We're making a trip to Iowa this weekend to commune with the cows and our relatives. I'm looking forward to an unstructured visit, some shopping, good food, and the chance to beat my niece at Spite and Malice. See you Monday!
