I had two ounces of white wine with four ounces of Perrier before going to bed about 10:30 P.M.. I was up at 7 A.M. this morning. The computer server is running fine. I restarted the computer and the server. I have a bit of acitivity considering I was down for almost three months. I guess the computer won't wear out before it is outdated. On an off hand note, it has been my impression that since they have torn down a lot of old houses in Greenwich that possibly a spirit has moved into my apartment or building. One night when someone came over, I saw a spirit that I would call, "The Ghost of Flanders" appear in my apartment. Possibly it recided in the apartment or building having been missplaced by somebody tearing down an old house. It does not bother me. That is why I now refer to 71 Vinci Drive as "Flanders Farm". It might explain some minor odd happenings in the building over the years. I am about to have for breakfast three soft boiled eggs, toast, cappacino, Perrier and orange juice and vitamins. Have a good day. CIO

I then installed it by sticking it on the car dashboard above the old clock. I sat out in the back yard a while watching some new private jets make their landing approach.
