Odd day capped off by a catastrophic laptop failure at 6:00 pm: (hense this post is from my phone ) my laptop… my workmate, my muse, my toy, my best electronic friend had the mechanical equivalent of a meltdown.. and took with it everything i’ve done since my last backup a month ago.. how may powerpoints ? How many lines of code ? How many pictures…’ll never know. The funny thing is.. I felt a little bit of guilty pleasure..it will take all datomorrow to rebuild which roughly translates to ‘four day weekend’…
Every cloud has a silver lining..which reminds me.. tonight around. I had the awesome luck(?)  To see a huge lightning bolt strike an electrical pole in richmond. It arked twice… maybe 12 feet then. The whole town went dark,, how cool is that ?

Nite all, nite sam
