Leisurely installing programs and setting up everything
"my way" on new Lap "FLEX 2", this is HUGE fun for me!

Wednesday: NEW LAPTOP!!!!

Written Tuesday Night:

When I got home from my Tuesday meetings, I looked online and smiled as I saw my 17" Laptop was "on the truck" at Fed-Ex, and rolling. Excitement. A friend received a new computer recently, and I asked him if I could attend the 'unveiling'. He seemed to think that idea a bit crazy, said, "Steve it's JUST a computer." JUSTA...JUSTA computer? God, man! I'll bet you go to movies and read books and visit zoos and eat out and don't drink and go to meetings and stuff...-grin!

I would have liked to have ordered a Mac, but did not feel like learning a new OS at this time (Operation System!). So maybe next time--five years? Company I order from is named Puget Systems (CLICK HERE), and my PC is six years old and runs and looks like new. They build a GREAT computer--but they ain't cheap! Comparing a DELL or HP, or SONY to one custom-built by Puget, is exactly like comparing a Chevrolet to a Lexus...OK? (When I call Puget, which is located in the far NW corner of our country), most often the fellow answering the phone is Jon Bach, the owner of the small company. No calls to foreign countries like India, or Cincinnati.

What does all this have to do with my Recovery Program? Well, I don't have a clue! I DO know it allows me to write Blongs, and to read my peeps' blogs, and to leave comments, and to study Steps, Traditions and History of AA. It has enabled me to befriend some wonderful people I well might NEVER have met. I can go 'chat' on TSR, "The Second Road" (CLICK HERE), and read innumerable messages on AA Online meeting sites.

Also (maybe?) a computer keeps me out of trouble...well, it keeps my mind working. Online Porn had nothing I ever wanted or needed. Too many live ones around, why settle for paper? Even back when guys were ogling Playboy and other crap, I felt that was such a waste of time. Lost time. So where was I spending MY time? Why, in a bottle of course, where else?

Anyway, ya got the idea now, that I'm an extra happy camper with a new and powerful toy. So when I say, things like "Oh I'm so happy", etc., just realize where my head is these daze. Love all you Peeps, really I do. And wish you all health and happiness, and we SHALL all stay sober today, right? RIGHT!

In LOVE and Service,
Sincerely.
