Fun, fun, fun

Not!

George has been complaining about the desktop computer being really slow.  I decided tonight to try to do something about it.  Not really that I was so concerned about his computer being slow as I was concerned that he was using my computer more and more.  Well, I really messed it up.  I could not get Google Chrome to run at all and Norton Security had a problem that it could not fix.

I restored it 3 or 4 times to different points but I could not see any difference.  Finally I thought to uninstall Google and then installing it again.  That finally worked.  I don't know if it is any faster, but I am not messing with it any more.

Patsy, you should download Pat Conroy's book The Water is Wide.  I think this was his first book.  It is about his experience teaching on an isolated island off the coast of South Carolina in the 70's, I think.  I saw a TV movie made from the book, but the book is much better.  The movie glossed over a lot of what he told about in the book.

I tried to read his basketball book but just could not get into it.  All his books, even the fiction ones, are about his life.  The Great Santini was his father.  His books were so obviously about his family that sometimes that would not even talk to him.

Wish you were here working on George's computer.
