Computers

My computer was doing the same thing a couple of days ago. Irritated me no end. Maybe the problem travels from west to east like the weather.

Went to a Sharing Craft session at McNally Robinson Book Sellers last night. Dianne was there, as was our friend Ann Marie. These things usually last from 7:00 to 9:00, but by about 8:30 there were only the three of us, one "guest" ,and the lady from the Crafts Museum who organizes these events. We started to laugh, and Dianne actually started to put on a bit of a show, talking about her days with the rodeo. horses she had known and the injuries she came away with. She was also talking about knitting dishcloths, and how she had lost the pattern and was having to make it up as she went along. Now you know she can put on a good "show", but the mental image of her riding a horse and knitting a dishcloth really got to me, and I ended up with a fit of the giggles. The other ladies were trying desperately not to laugh and when I started they broke down as well. So picture five middle aged ladies practically rolling on the floor in the middle of the book store. So, yes, we need to laugh. I've heard it said that the ability to laugh, especially at ourselves is what separates us from the animals far more than any other ability that they can identify.
