Eh.. I hate Windows. Well, I mean, I can maneuver around within it okay.
\n Like, compared to DOS. But it’s not a Mac. And I really don’t like this
\nversion of AOL. I don’t really like the one we have on our Mac either, but
\nit’s better than nothing.<\/p>\n
I would rather have a pencil and paper than all the power in the universe.
\nThat’s because I could actually use the pencil. I wouldn’t know what to do
\nwith raw power. Shock people, maybe.<\/p>\n
Dzzzt.<\/p>\n
It’s.. I guess almost 12 if not that already. Mountain time. We got up at
\nten till 7 central time, left the motel we were staying at in Vernon, TX, and
\ndrove here. I dozed some in the back seat, curled up between the door and
\nthe ice chest. I knew I was asleep because Steph and Nathan were listening
\nto stories on tape from James Harriot (a vet in England). I’d hear a part of
\nthe story and have absolutely no idea what was going on, which meant I’d been
\nasleep. Nathan and Steph drove most of the way. We ate supper in Wichita
\nFalls at a Mexican place, then they let me drive the rest of the way to
\nVernon, about 40 miles. Whoopie. I did it in about 30 minutes, since I was
\ngoing 80. That’s the first I’ve ever driven Nathan’s car. He wouldn’t let
\nme before. He let Eli take it to a senior banquet tonight though, which I
\nthought was really nice of him.<\/p>\n
I also drove from just outside the Colorado border to the Bremers. The
\nSaturn is a nice car to drive. I can see why Nathan likes it so much.<\/p>\n
We left my house about 7:20 on Friday morning. I had to get up an hour early
\nto vaccuum my room and change my sheets and stuff. There was a wreck or
\nsomething somewhere either in Louisiana or Mississippi, and traffic was
\nbacked up a long ways. Steph and I had to pee like heck, so we pulled off at
\nthe next exit. I suggested we eat at Shoneys since we’d have to wait anyway
\nfor traffic to clear up. A lot later, we passed through Longview. It was
\nabout 3:10. I hunkered down in my seat so Nathan wouldn’t see me staring
\nwistfully out the window in his rear view mirror. It turned out that we hit
\nDallas right at 5, so we got caught in rush hour traffic. It would have made
\nsense (to me, if anyone) to stop in Longview for an hour or so, considering
\nthat we got into Vernon at about 9 something that night. I could have driven
\na lot later than that. But I didn’t have directions anyhow. I couldn’t get
\non AOL the night before or that morning. Quite annoying.<\/p>\n
I just read all my new mail (or at least all the new mail it said I had)
\nonline, because with this thing, it won’t let me read it off. Took about 10
\nminutes, and that was skimming.<\/p>\n
We went to a dance class at the Academy tonight with the guys. Even Nathan
\nwent. It was great. I learned to tango, foxtrot, some kind of waltz, and
\njitterbug. Mostly I was with Spirit, who has lousy time, but that was okay
\nsince I was a beginner at most of the stuff. We came back to the house,
\ncleared all the furniture and rug out of the living area, and did some
\ncountry stuff. Then moved out on the deck and danced beneath the stars.
\n There were three guys and four then five girls, so we weren’t too
\noutnumbered. It really is fun to dance with a guy who knows what he’s doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
