On the Lighter Side:
Computer Geek vs. Satin Angora Rabbit
My husband, bless him, is the consummate computer geek, guru,
god, whatever you want to call it. The Internet is to Jim what food
and water are to the rest of the population. Without Internet access
he would rapidly degenerate into a dribbling idiot that stared
vacantly at walls. There are times when I've noticed that it's easier
to get his attention (usually when he's coding) by getting on the
second computer and sending him an Instant Message. He usually
responds to those when he's sunken into cyber coding mode. Unlike most
other wives I don't have to compete with the television for attention
I have to compete with his 'mechanical mistress' aka the computer!
Well I am happy to report that I now have a new weapon in my
arsenal to combat this insidious, domestic evil, our nine year olds
satin angora rabbit, Caleb. Caleb LOVES the computer desks. They are
side by side and it's nice and dark and cozy up under our feet. In
other words the perfect rabbit hidey hole. Well the other night as I
sat to one side of Jim spinning up yarn for use in Christmas gifts I
was watching Caleb out of the corner of my eye as he investigated the
back of the computer. From my vantage point it looked very much as if
he were trying to decide which one of those pesky cords he should yank
on to unplug Jim from the Internet.
Minutes later, as I sat calmly spinning, my peaceful Celtic music
was rudely interrupted by my husbands shriek of outrage as Caleb found
the right cord....<grin>. E.A. Henson
