it is rocket science

Yes, it is rocket science. I think this computer upgrade is the fastest, easiest, most painless time I’ve ever swapped out a machine. Took a little while to sort out some of the details, and get the latest version of some software and its associated drivers all hooked up. It was the close of the sxsw series, too. The crowds of music people: bands, fans, media, and assorted accompanying persons, it was about a day too long, by my call. Having to wait for dinner, just one last time, was a bit too much for me. Some of the local businesses, though, were reporting as a much as a three fold increase in business. For others, just another day in Austin Town. Then there’s the problem with what to do with two girls who are 16 and one guy who’s 17. Man, is that ever SO the wrong age. Clubs are 18 and up. And forget about hanging around the parental figures, we are such losers. For the first time, in a long time, I’ve been addressed as an authority figure. I was just glad I wasn’t called “Sir,” or those kids would’ve been walking. And what guys come to my rescue? None. “Dude, I can’t help unless she’s, like, old enough to drink.” Thanks, guys.
