The Lighthouse and the Whaler
Met up with my boss and my buddy Johnny at The William the other night. We had some business to discuss.
Me: We’ve known each other 20 years. This may be the first time we’re working together.
Johnny: You’re the only person left I trust. I couldn’t let money come between us.
Me: That’s the thing. Money’s not my primary purpose. I’m interested in things money can’t buy.
Him: Wait two years. I gotta settle a few things.
Me: I know. It’s been 20 years. I can wait two more.
The weekend was hot so my computer kept crashing.
So I put on some tunes – like Venice by The Lighthouse and the Whaler – pulled it apart, and isolated the problem to a faulty fan.
While I was in there, attempted to swap out the CPU but that didn’t work because I didn’t have the right parts.
Still, was pretty proud that I still knew how to troubleshoot technology; I used to build networks and computer professionally before I became a lawyer.
Me: (to wife) I figure if everything goes to hell, I could always go back and be a computer guy. The only question would be how to start getting rid of my most annoying clients.
Her: First thing you do, buy yourself a whoopee cushion…
Location: Fall in NYC, I think
Mood: ambitious
Music: I have seen all the feeling and the rains
