Saturday Morning Sunshine

So I had to get up this morning and get going because I had some more bankruptcies to complete and I was irked about having to go sit in my office on such a beautiful beautiful day and it occurred to me... I own a laptop now and I can do this work outside, so I went to my favorite coffee shop and ordered a large mocha with Ghiradelli chocolate (Mmmm, Chocolate.) and set up outside listening to the traffic and watching the old men congregate and chat about their lives, and entered creditor after creditor. Now I'm taking a break and truly appreciating technology that allows me to sit here and be online and check up on my Blog. How great is that? Yesterday I discovered that the park next to my office is also a "Hot Spot" so I can also sit out there and do work.

Its a beautiful day here in Alabama- sunny and I'd say about 74- perfect in the shade. Ten years ago I wouldn't have dreamed that I would be sitting here on the computer...I wonder what a further ten years will bring? I'm sitting here trying to think of something new- cooler than today and beyond silent cars, or smaller lighter computers (and frankly, I like the current size and weight, if I'm going to spend money on something I like to to at least Feel sturdy and expensive...) how much more advanced will we get? Of course, technology will advance, it has been marching steadily onward, but who in the 1950s really thought that computers would have become so ingrained in our lives?

Ok, I'm going to run, but before I do, there is now a group of women congregating at the casino bus stop wearing their lucky shirts (which all seem to involve sequins and other shiny materials) with their wheel chairs and oxygen tanks ready to head off to... Biloxy I suppose, but I didn't realize they were already back to business as usual...And I think its really cute. They have their pillows and bags and are ready for some hot action. : )

Mo- Thanks for the comment : ) And yeah, pondering the future of technology usually looks more Blade Runner in my head than puppy dogs and moonbeams....
