La'Heim

I'm 31 folks!  The day came and went, the thrill is gone, the party's over, and the bar is closing.  Where we going to for breakfast?  I took an entire week off of work and today is the final day of vacation (before the weekend).  I've been off since the 3rd of July so I've had several days to rest, relax, and reflect.

My most exciting birthday gift was the one to myself.  I am playing with it now.  Her name is Maci.  She's a MacBook and is my first experience with the Apple Computer.  I have the iPod, and after my experience with Windows Vista, I decided to switch over to OSX and Mac.  So far, so good.  The transition has been seamless, and I have a class tomorrow to further my understanding of Maci.  

I've attached her to my scanner and went through the vaults to pull out an old photo of iMac (me).  Back in 1980, when this photo was taken, you can see the smile on the young man's face.  When thinking back of how the world has turned since then, I have few regrets and understand that the one's I have, I must learn to live with.  But even if you see a pic of me at 31, you'll see the same smile.  And so I must be thankful that over the past three decades, I've been blessed to be happy with the few things I've been given.  I will never forget the lessons learned from West Point to Webster.  Through it all, though, I've learned to be happy with what time has and will give me.  La'heim!
