Well today has been hell, so if(!) I look a bit worn out, it's because the computer issues are landing like dominoes. First the virus, then the back up disk dies. Virus writers should be lined up and shot. And for the record, Microsoft - you suck. Maxtor - you suck too. But I am CONFIDENT I will get all these issues resolved. However, it is likely to mess with my posting schedule. I'll do my best.

Here are some examples of the sort of cocky, bravado, puffed up ego foolhardiness I was trying to avoid depicting. Interesting that these were the top results in Google pictures for confidence. None of these are what I would call real confidence. What does that say about our society? Not much good I fear.
