Cucking Fomputer

In case you’re wondering where I’ve been…

A week ago, the hard drive on my computer failed. Although some documents were backed up, I pretty much lost everything . . . including the most recent draft of ‘The Odyssey’.

But what truly breaks my heart is that every picture I’ve ever taken of my kids has vanished.

One of the Uber Geeks here (Everyone say “Hi” to Jeremy) has been working on it, trying to see if he can retrieve the data . . . but it doesn’t look good.

Basically, I’ve been waiting for a week to find out whether or not all is lost. I have no computer right now, apart from one I’m using temporarily at work.

A professor of mine in college used to say “You live by the computer, you die by the computer…” at the beginning of each term. Or, as Jack put it: “If you only have one backup, you don’t have a backup.”

It doesn’t look good at all.
