Hm. I should post again, or something. Important stuff first.
My dad got back from the hospital two days ago. Apparently it was a gallstone blocking some vital duct, but everything seems to be all better now. Or at least for the foreseeable future.
And now for the fun stuff.
I have a GMail account, thanks to Becky Casselberry. This will probably produce one of six possible results.
1) Your jaw will drop open and you will henceforth refer to me in hushed and reverential tones. If you want me to send you an invite the next time one becomes available, you can start sending me money. Preferably in $50s or $100s.
2) You won't care. You already have one. You will also laugh at me because you had one first.
3) You will ask me "What on earth is GMail?" And I will realize you make a point of never following informational links. Like the one a little bit higher in my post.
4) You will ask me "What is email? Do I need a computer for it? Does a computer cost money?" At this point I will wonder what you think the thing you're using right now is.
5) You will regard me as having sold my soul to the Devil, and as only being slightly better than the Antichrist. The latter because I only have one GMail account. After all, everyone knows that Google is out to cross-reference and archive everyone's email, all over the planet, for their own nefarious purposes. Or at least to sell info to the highest bidder.
6) You don't have a clue this is here or that I even exist, and so won't be producing any reactions at all. How boring.
