2 Let's see if I can remember how to use this thing.

4 So far so good.
5 Anybody lookin'?
6 "You are invisible." I glanced over to my gmail stuff and that's the first thing I saw under the rim of my gangsta hat.
7 That's by design, homes.
8 So O.G. <goes into swirly classic movie dizziness and vertigo>.
9 "Okay it's all coming back to me..."
10 Somewhere a rooster just crowed.
11 What an odd week.
12 I pretty much sat at a computer and did grades.
13 I may have gone to Disneyland, Vegas, Shasta or Tahoe but I don't remember.
14 Maybe all of 'em.
15 I think it was odd because it's the first REAL break we've had since Thanksgiving, and even that one wasn't enough time to get grades done. Christmas was a zoo because semester grades were due.
16 So this was the first holiday-less vacation we've had.
17 It's NEVER a vacation during school. The only people who understand this are teachers, retired teachers and Zen elephants.
18 I had reasonably short papers to grade, along with a bunch of classwork and homework, as well as time spent getting electronic things to work.
19 Somewhere in there my body got thick and my mind narrowed, sort of like that guy in Up.
20 I wanted to go somewhere, to do something, to enjoy the time off.

22 My house became a workshop for all things school.
23 It worked because it gave me a little more time to spend reading and commenting on students' work.
24 So I ate, slept and dreamt about school.
25 Dreamt. Done purposefully to test the spell check on this thing.
26 The corrections' officers on Blogger or Blogspot or more likely T-O-S-H-I-B-A whatever said it should be spelt "dreamy". Thank goodness I don't depend on computers for grammatical or spelling needs.
27 For example, it caught "spelt" (see above) which I did again deliberately as a test.
28 The first correction that popped up: "slept". See item 24, above. It didn't change that to "spelt".

29 Way to think Cosmo.
30 I no longer hate my T-O-S-H-I-B-A tho. Know why?
31 I have three backups. I moved this thing to a back room where it became dusty and instantly nostalgic.
32 I even named it "Cosmo". Just now. See that?
33 Seems nice enough.
34 This is the laptop I bought last April, I think it was. It had this moronic thing on it called Windows 8, one of the worst beasts ever released on mankind.
35 I don't dare upgrade for fear it will re-set everything. I've already seen horror stories.
36 Meanwhile my desktop from around four or five years ago continues to sail freely on Windows Vista. Nary a concern except for the CD/DVD thing. Doesn't work, but I never use that anyway.
37 My school gave me a new Apple Mac Pro, which is strong but tricky. It takes a little getting used to, of course, but that hasn't been a huge adjustment.
38 My only gripe about Apple is that it is like the kid that loves going through all your s#!t.
39 It is the most transparent thing I've ever seen, and the second I got on it You Tube got owned by the school district.
40 I hope they like Marx Brothers movies and odd conspiracy theories about aliens from space.
41 Annoying.
42 I keep thinking about visiting sights about Olympic curling.
43 They'll snoop, then turn away like a dog that sniffed a boring tree.
44 I thought of visiting seventeen different You Tube guitar lessons for Old McDonald.
45 Some people really need lives.
46 Good thing I'm invisible.

48 See?

51 Anybody lookin'?

53 AnywayZ.
54 It's great to be back. I'm tanned, rested and ready.
55 Have a GREAT week.
56 See you again.
57 Peace.
