Well, I gave up on my PC. Someone was able to save my data, but I went out, cried a little when I pulled out my credit card, and bought a Mac. I love it. I'm already decorating it with banjo highlights.

Now, I have a little problem. In the past, when the kids were in bed, it was easy to see my choice was between sleep, TV, and the banjo. Now, it looks like Mac or banjo. I've completely given up sleep and mostly given up TV. 

Honestly, though. These are two choices I can live with. And the little camera on the Mac means I can sometimes enjoy both at the same time. I've even figured out how to use skype on this new computer, not just my phone. Nudge nudge Scott. 

I have also befriended a woman at work who is also trying to teach herself banjo. I am trying desperately to convince her to jump on here. I love you guys.
