Happy Halloween
I hope you are reading Dave Barry’s weekly column in the Miami Herald. It’s linked there to the right under “New Windows”. If you get nothing else here, I hope you’re getting that. This week he offers:
Tips for a happy, yet hellish, Halloween night
He also describes the computers we had while growing up. (He and I are of approximately the same age.)
“Back then, the entire Internet consisted of two slow, boxcar-sized UNIVAC computers about 50 feet apart, connected by a wire. It would take one of these computers an entire day to send an e-mail to the other one, which would immediately delete it, because it was a Viagra ad.”
Whatever you do Halloween night, be safe! I’ll be at work. My manager wants all her supervisors to dress in a “Men in Black” fashion. This means I must go shopping tomorrow for a pair of black pants. Would you believe I do not own a pair of black pants? I’ve never looked good in black. But I guess the point of Halloween is not to look good, huh?
