A word for Microsoft

(_____). I can't print it here, so I'll let you fill in the blank.

Between migrating to a new laptop, Microsoft's various settings against digital piracy and our oh-so-slow dialup connection out here in the country, posting here has been impossible in the last few days.

Unfortunately, don't expect anything in the next few, either: We're heading to Florida -- first for a visit with Robert's brother, Hoyle; and then on to Tampa where I get my cataracts fixed, and a pair of implanted lenses. The doctor called to bump the surgeries up a day (they're Monday and Tuesday), after which we'll hang around a bit to make sure everything takes, and then I'll be off to audition for my new job in Key West (photo at right).

Assuming I'll feel like looking at a laptop, I'll post an update next week. Till then, stay safe and well.
