Today wasn’t the greatest day: The laptop’s motherboard died.
Fortunately I had backed up the data last night, so I have what I need. Hopefully the computer will be fixed by Thursday afternoon. As it is, the computer breaking has set me a day behind and may cost me the time I had allotted Friday and Saturday to a cultural thing here in Weimar.
In other sad news, condensation started appearing inside my watch yesterday. I can only assume that this is prelude to death—something that I hope doesn’t happen before I get back to the land of Indiglo Timex Watches.
So now I should be working, but I’m not really in the mood—it’s hot and steamy out (much like Bloomington), an the German public is going a bit crazy today—something about another one of those “fußball” matches, or something.
But on a happier note, I’ve decided to have a party on Sunday, July 2nd, in Bloomington, and my readers are invited. Normally I would do this via email, but my email address book is locked up on a hard-drive in my laptop that had a dead motherboard, so I am issuing an invite here. Email me and tell me you are coming, it’s at the usual place.
Hmmm … it must be the summer of dying computers. Your laptop really wasn’t that old though. Is is under warranty?
There were mitigating issues, it wasn’t that new, but it is under warrenty.
Hopefully I will get it back before I leave.

Jerry–I’m shocked that you’re not making the trip. Absolutely shocked.
Hey Adam….
my watch is dying as well, do you think we should bury them and hold a ceremony when you get back to Btown?
