Lexington Avenue, August 2007
We must be having sunspots this week.
My travails continued yesterday, when one of my office computers contracted a virus (along with much of the rest of the network) and the other, a temporary replacement for a machine with a dead motherboard, stubbornly refused to print or view e-mail. It was like trying to work with one hand tied behind my back and the other arm in a cast.
Last night I watched “Salem’s Lot,” the fairly dreadful ‘70s TV movie based on the Stephen King novel. Maybe because of my work computers, I kept getting distracted thinking about the time period -- no Internet, no cell phones, no “connectivity” or “social networking.” Being something of a Luddite anyway, I was downright nostalgic for the ‘70s.
(Not for the hair, though.)
Who could be nostalgic for 70's hair? There was a lot about that decade I'm happy to leave behind, but I won't get into it.
ReplyDeleteLove all the window A/C units. Wow.
As for this week, if I were you I would DUCK & COVER. This, too, shall pass. Hang in there!
Reya beat me to mentioning the air conditioning units. Pretty cool, no pun intended.
ReplyDeleteI have some family photos from the seventies that just make me cringe. I look like a freak in them.
Steve - I absolutely LOVE this picture. How cool is that (literally and figuratively)?
