My new computer just arrived. The first thing I thought to do with it is, of course, to blog its arrival. It's a kind of sickness, no?

There's the shipping box.

It's like Christmas all over again. Except hellishly expensive.

And speaking of hellishly expensive, the poor car went into the mechanic today. Dave noticed a pool of oil under it yesterday morning and he added more oil and basically watched as it drained out the bottom. That can't be good, I think. In fact, it took five quarts of oil just to drive it to the mechanic's. (Dave had to pull over twice to add oil.) I'm guessing it's going to mean either a new car or a firstborn child's worth of repairs.

I know that bad luck comes in threes, so I'm waiting. I'm guessing a broken bone. Or perhaps a broken water main. You know, something simple and less expensive than the last week has been.
