I know everyone regards me as an easy-going, slow to anger, usually helpful, and never argumentative guy. But it's possible that--for the next couple of weeks--I may not be my usual self, in this regard.
Two nights ago, my backpack--containing my laptop--was stolen from my car. My fault. Aside from the thief, there's no one to blame but me. The baby had been sick for a couple of days, had vomitted in the car, and while cleaning up that night, I left the car door unlocked and my backpack in the passenger-side boot. Apparently, there are folks that prowl the neighborhood in the wee hours, checking card doors to see if they are unlocked, then swiping things that are left therein. Super.
Anyway, I lost...well, a lot. A ton, actually. I back up daily, but to a flash drive. Guess where that was.
But I don't really want to talk about it. Just know that if I'm uncharacteristically mean, sarcastic, or cruel, I have a good reason...
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving! Really.
