Friday the 13th

I am a little late posting today and don't have a prepared piece. It's a golf day so I get nothing done in the morning anyway but some other things are happening around here today.

On Tuesday each week, Faye and I meet with a group of couples for dinner at some restaurant around town. These are people that we both know; Faye through her work in tax preparation, me from golf. It's a decent crowd, maybe 16 people at most but usually 12 show up. It gets us out of the house, gives the cooks a break, helps the local economy, and makes for a pleasant social gathering. Next week, however, we are doing something a little different. We are having them over for a lasagna dinner.

Faye makes a great lasagna. The problem is that it is difficult to make it for just three so I only get to taste when there is enough company over.

What this means is that the house gets extra cleaning. And it means that I have to catch up on some chores, like cleaning my desk, picking up the computer parts and boxes that are strewn about, and so forth. It also means that Faye wants to burn a music CD to play in the background. This last is what interfered the most with my blog today. Faye is pretty good at this but she usually needs just a little help.

I have to admit, I am a little puzzled over how my computers are linked. The media is supposed to be linked through the router for the DSL. We do not have a formal LAN but this is supposed to be a network. I can see Faye's music and access it from my desktop and I can see the laptop's music and access it. The laptop can see both her media and my desktop. But Faye's computer can only see the laptop. Chaos reigns. I guess I need a "Networking for Dummies" manual.

But I managed to burn the CD she wanted (79 MP3 files). And then I burned another MP3 CD for my car (7 hours of music).

And now I can finally write and post this.

But I did win $25 (net) at golf today.
