| Just When I Think I've Figured Things Out They Draw Me Back Into Beginner Status |
I had a true
Michael Corleone moment yesterday at work.
As with most people of my generation I’m a late comer to computers and
technology in general (just ask my kids).
While they took to computers seamlessly I’ve had to bite and scratch my
way into some elementary sense of computer literacy. That’s why I felt like Michael yesterday as
my office computer was upgraded with the latest generation of Microsoft Office
products. I was drawn back into the feelings
of inadequacy by having to learn how to navigate through the new software. I’m
sure it’s no big deal for the youg’uns but us troglodytes are a different
story.

| Obligatory Weekly Lunch Photo |
This induced
stress was mollified to a great extent by the weekly sanity lunch with my
favorite son. The bulk of the lunch was
spent discussing the upcoming wedding rehearsal dinner which my wife has uncharacteristically
allowed me to plan. It looks like I’m
going to have that Nashua rehearsal dinner finally, after a thirty five year delay
(but that’s a story for another day).

| Czar Vladimir Poised to Protect Those Poor Oppressed Russians In Eastern Ukraine By Some Strange Twist of Serendipity He just Happens to Have Forces Poised to Do Just That |
If anyone cares
to notice (and not many seem that interested) Putin has started the second
phase of his dismemberment campaign in Ukraine.
He staged a lot of troops on Ukraine’s eastern border during his Crimean
takeover. Now “Russian activists” are
taking over government buildings and taking hostages in Eastern Ukraine. This should ring some bells of déjà vu (especially
for the Crimeans). He’s threatening
Ukraine over the natural gas Russia supplies them and in order to quell any European
opposition also threatened their gas supply yesterday. I’m sure the US will respond with a vigorous
condemnation when Putin issues the launch order for his troops to move into Eastern
Ukraine to “protect” those poor activists when Ukraine is finally goaded into reestablishing
law and order.
