I'm sitting in my hotel room in The Woodlands, Texas, using my notebook computer again, finally, after having a bad experience with a virus taking it out of commission. It was Tuesday night, very late, that somehow a virus found its way in to the computer (while I was asleep), causing it to crash, knocking out programs, preventing me from Internet access, etc. I brought it with me to The Woodlands, anyway, hoping I could find someone to fix it. As it turned out, the hotel sales manager has a neighbor who is chief information officer for a major corporation, so the sales manager called him about it. So, last night, the hotel guy took my computer home with him and he brought it back this morning, along with a bill for $200. I was happy to pay it; it would have cost much more in lost productivity and time had I gone out looking for someone to fix it. I had already tried my hand at it...and failed.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will leave the meeting clean-up to my staff and will go north to Falba to visit a brother.
This business of getting up at 5:00 am, starting to work at 6:15 am and finishing at 7:00 pm or later is for the birds. I'm going to kick back and relax, then a short night's sleep again.
