Bahahaha! I can't believe you're brave enough to even open those messages. I'm always afraid they'll be loaded with something that will make the computer explode in my face and suddenly I'll be all slimey. Oh, wait...

As the world turns...

No sooner did I read your post, and proclaim my antipathy toward "that kind" of e'mail, than my in-box turned up something that made it past the filters from one "Devil Diego"

(Ohlordywhatnow??!)

Only, and I repeat, ONLY because I had read your post today was I moved to open it out of curiosity rather than trash it with annoyance.

Good thing!

(Digression: If I had my own blog instead of shamelessly having to camp out all over solar system like this, I could easily make something up about how old Devil Diego was offering me the chance of a lifetime. Not today though. Not here :)

New job = working with college kids = resourceful student named Diego who was writing to ask me an important question. I very nearly blew him off.

Bottom line? There is much truth in fortune cookies. "Gaze long at the moon bring good luck" I did just that, and I'm so glad :)
