While we were in Louisville over New Year's, all the kids went to see You've Got Mail. Ammo said it was gushy. Of course, this is a kid who thinks Halloween H2O is a touching family movie. I've been giving thought to this keyboard thing. I mean just LISTEN to you all!!!!! Holly takes hers in the shower with her after gently undressing it. She blows it dry, for god's sake! Yours wears a little rubber bib, and you wipe down your mouse daily and probably powder it's little behind. Gaugie is raising a Victory Garden in his. And when the seeds and crumbs are ripe, MJ will slice them lovingly into perfect geometric shapes. Your keyboards get better care than my children who frequently wandered around with drippy little noses and strange stains on their OshKoshes from yesterday's lunch. And remember how Alexa keeps her kitchen spotless and germfree? Her kids always have colds. They are fragile due to no acquired immunities while mine who ate from the floor with the cats are seldom sick. My keyboard which is at least two years old-maybe three-works just fine except for the BAMBAMBAM key. It has learned to function despite the obstacles and goo. It is STRONG and DETERMINED---a keyboard of character. Your clean, pampered keyboards would probably short circuit at a little adversity. So forgive my reluctance to buy into your overprotective, possessive keyboard parenting techniques; the proof is in the product--taptaptaptaptaptaptaptap BAM.

I posted this to the Burke site last night, I went to the mega multiplex and saw "You've Got Mail," and "Shakespeare in Love" back to back. The audience cheered at the end of "Shakespeare in Love," haven't heard that in a while. Afterwards all the cars in the parking lot were covered with 3/8" of hard ice, and hundreds of drivers were all standing next to their cars, scraping off ice. The crunch-crunch-crunch was deafening. I really liked both of them, very cathartic, and afterwards I was thinking, on the way home, that if my erstwhile partner had really loved me, he wouldn't have treated me the way he did. An eye-opener. Duhhhhh. I told my husband this morning, and he gave me that look he does, over the top of his glasses, kinda quizzical (I keep telling him he must practice it in the mirror but he swears he doesn't). "This is old news, right?" I asked him. "I kept telling you." It's finally sinking in. So, well worth it.
