So about the last 3 years I have wanted and dreamed and planned and wanted to buy a powerbook, I might be doing it. If my credit is approved I will soon be holding a small piece of mankind most powerful inventions, the computer, in a very attractive case. I am giddy. Stupid to be so excited about a computer...Yes. I might be a nerd. But my nerdness, isn't as bad as it could be. I will still put on my Guinness pajamas and drink my woodford reserve and smoke my pipe and read my books.
When I was younger I made a mental list of things I would like to do and own,
1. Get married to my best friend, check
2. live in a neiborhood where I could walk to the grocery store, check
3. Drink scotch or whisky in the cold, check
4. Own a manual typewriter, check
5. Learn to love fine wine and beer, check
6. Drive across the country with my wife, check
7. Have great camping gear, check
8. Go to another country, not check
9. Own a apple laptop, not check
10. Sit by a pond and drink wine with my wife, not check
I am sure my mental list is longer but I forget sometimes.
oh yeah, I am done with school, so the apple would be a graduation present. And jenny has a real job now. Things are very good. We are blessed daily even if we don't see it. Gods goodness is more apparent to me right now, which is sad, I wish I could focus on his goodness more consistently.

When I started to read the list, I was pretty sure that there would be one about always wanting to be tricked into thinking a friend from michigan was a hitchhiker. But oddly enough that wasn't on your list. Oh well, I guess owning a manual typewriter is just as fun.
