successful install I feel better today. Part of yesterday was spent examining where I am in life once again. Seeing one of my cousin's one month old baby made me think of Brenda, because a child is what she wanted so much. Soon I was questioning where I am in life and wondering where I should be directing my energies. Should I be married by this time in life? Should I be settling down and raising a family? If I had stayed with Brenda that journey could already be in progress. Then I took another look and realized that most of my cousins waited until they were in their thirties before they got married and started to breed. So this means that I have another year to go. Of course I have to obtain a girlfriend somewhere along the way for this plan to work. Last night at the family gathering my mom returned my external hard drive to me. I had loaned it to them months ago when the internal drive on their computer got filled and was acting strangely. So immediately after I got home from work I reinitialized it with Apple drivers, partitioned it and installed Mac OS 8.5. My next step is to start tinkering with Linux if I can manage it. Before I fell asleep I saw an excellent installment of Masterpiece Theater with James Earl Jones as a deprogrammer. He objected to that name in the episode, but his performance was great. Cults fascinate me and disturb me at the same time and I have to confess that the idea of being a deprogrammer appeals to me in some ways. A person must take great pride in being able to free someone from mind control and return them to their family. Unfortunately I think that most deprogrammers start out as former members of the cult which is something that I really don't need to experience firsthand.
