Alas, poor Gateway, I knew him well.

Apparently, Yorick's line in Hamlet is oft misquoted.  Supposedly it doesn't say "I knew him well" but instead talks of his joviality in life and his grim remains in death.  Well, here in our home we are unfortunately discussing the grim remains of our once trusty Gateway.  Our computer fell ill yesterday and was rushed into ICU with the Geek Squad.  We were told that he had a chance and brought him home although with a complete loss of data.  I'm sad to report, however, that at 6:35 this evening, our beloved friend passed on.  Doug is currently making funeral arrangements and attempting to purchase a replacement.  I'm suffering withdrawals even though I have access to a laptop; it's just not the same.  Our laptop is slower and I feel lost without my sidekick CS3.  Thankfully, Doug did a picture dump onto an external hard drive prior to the demise.

I have so many things to tell you about.  We have a new garden and I have new pictures and I'm working on an Easter project and planning for Anna's birthday party.  The laptop isn't so great for blogging though.  Hopefully, we'll be up and running again in a day or two.
