Well, looks like summer is nearly here and all the spring flowers, bugs and animals are all back here in Moravian Falls. I keep getting dive-bombed by bees every time I go outside. The funny thing is that no one else is experiencing this. Linda had an idea that the bees think my Rod Stewart hair do is a flower. We had a snake go across our deck and lots of animals are running around. We decided it is time to get a shot gun. Wow, here we are tree-hugging Californians caving into to the hillbilly life-style. Larry Randolph stopped by last week with a 410 shotgun and a blue violin that he bought at the swap meet. I shot it and liked it. Then Linda shot it and took out a tree limb. She was bummed for a few days. I drive a truck but don’t have a dog and a gun. I still get my hair cut in California and import food from other places. I order online and drive hours for a certain kind of vitamin. Will we ever become mountain people?

I dropped off-line for a while and people have been asking if I am still alive. Our vacation in Florida was relaxing but not long enough time for a full recovery. I came back only to catch another cold. We went down to Cape Corel and hung out at the mall and the beach. I bought a book about Starbucks and went to Starbucks and read it.  Hmm.. there must be more to life.  

I actually left my computer at home and spent the week detoxing from the internet. I think we all need a cyber-cleanse every so often. My problem is that I now do nearly everything on my computer (except for sex). I listen to music, get news, read my computer bible, journal, look at photos friends send me, and of course I correspond with people. Are we becoming e-people? I was just talking with Larry Randolph and he said that he finally got an ePod. I think it was an iPod but of course he is from Arkansas Maybe it is i before e except when… I think I need to write a book called no more computerese.
