Stick a Fork In It

It's official. The hard drive and computer are no more. While I like to think that I'm generally an organized person, we just kept procrastinating on backing up our hard drive. As you may have deduced - we lost it all. No computer, no photos, no files - nada. At least I feel I'm in good company - most of our techy-est friends admitted in a panic that they've probably not backed up for two to three years either. If you would be so kind as to indulge me in some eloquent words of wisdom- git up off yo' lazy ass and do it. It really sucks if you don't.

Because I have a really awful habit of creating duplicate files all over the place, I've actually been able to recreate much of the photo collection of Keira, although there are some candids we'll never see again. We actually lost a much higher percentage of photos taken with friends and of the cats.

If any of you have received any photos from me or from Chad over the past several years, we'd very much appreciate it if you could send a copy back to us. In addition, if you have any fun photos taken with us that you've not yet shared, we'd love a copy.

We're not going to get a computer for a bit since we are intrigued by the new Mac operating system and it's not due out for another couple of months. In the meantime we have a pinch hitter, and the blog will be back up and running.

Don't hold your breath for the next few days though, I was out of town on Saturday so I'm still only 200 or so pages into the final Harry Potter....
