MY DEMENTED DIARY

Oh by the way, folks,
oldest entries are deleted
to keep the total entry

that number is sure to

My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the

My Heroic Ballads

My Facebook Page

Today we celebrate the birthday of Emile Leger, born in 1795. He was a mathematician.

Yesterday was The Day Of New Toys. Our new computer works. I downloaded the newest Opera browser and it works, with a few minor differences from the old one. I decided to use this diary instead of my Geocities site as my brower Home Page. Geocities is gonna quit broadcasting in October, and I'm fully prepared to let my old site die a merciful death.

And now for the Great Cellaphone Saga. For about two or three years now, MrsPest and JuniorPest have been sorta on my case about how I'm eligible for a free cellaphone upgrade and how I oughta get one. I've been saying, hey, the old one still works.

Well anyhow, my old cellaphone has been getting sorta balky about charging up. I keep needing to scrape the corrosion off the charger contacts, so I think the plating is long gone worn off and I'm scraping into base metal.

Well, it seems that MrsPest and JuniorPest have been going in regularly for their free upgrades and they want some sorta newfangled service and the cellaphone company keeps telling them, "But folks, one of the phones on your three-phone family plan is so old that we can't offer you that service." Oops, I guess that means The Daddy's Ancient Stone-Age Relic.

So MrsPest and I bitty-bopped over to the cellaphone company to get me a free upgrade. I discovered that now they've got a model so small and thin it'll fit in the credit-card zipper-pouch of my Chisco Marsupial key-tag. So that's the one I got. It's even got a camera and a way to telephone pictures to my e-mail, which I haven't learned to use yet.

And so today it looks like nothing's gonna happen, leaving me to sit around floundering in new toys.

Happy Floundering!
