We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Another day, another year, ANOTHER pre-post. I have even had to resort to posting one of Jennifer's photographs!

Here you can see the lads sharing a bowl of grapes. Well, actually, they are playing poker with grapes as the pot. The problem with these two is that Henry favours a straight game of seven card stud, whereas Ezra prefers a variation of Oxford stud with a complex mix of a kill game and wild cards. Consequently, I have had to implement a rule in which their guns (Christmas presents) are not allowed on their person while a game is underway.

It really is like Deadwood in these parts of late.

Onto technical matters, I can assure you that if the computer is not yet fixed, and the computer robot dude is still posting this, my New Year's resolution will involve fixing it. I do hope to have found the Windows XP disks that Henry has stashed away somewhere by that time.

If not, I fear that the rss feeds will now be at two thousand, and I expect to be at least twelve hours behind the latest EPIC FAIL shark LOL that has hit the global village.

I really hate being behind the times in terms of EPIC FAIL shark LOLs. It makes me feel like less of a person.
