When Your Computers Heart is Achy

.......[c]2005 by Richard L Zorek......12.28.05.....Over the weekend I was sick and pretty close to death's door. (OK, maybe no where near the door.....but dreamed briefly that I saw the door open and through it was a bright light over the Jordan River as I floated up above all my family members coming to meet me as angelic choirs began to sing "Achy Breaky Heart" and I woke up immediately because no one wants to hear that song sung by anyone, let alone a choir). Well, they say the things that are closest to you begin to resemble you. Some people look like their dogs. Some like their cats. Some resemble their cars. There are some that look like those pink plastic swans that go in the front yard and I just don't know what that is all about.

In my "family" I guess it's the computer. It got a virus. Like me, neither of us had been sick for awhile.......and even when we are we usually aren't stopped by it. But, my browser got hijacked by this vicious little virus who was backed up by another one and when I thought I could delete him....he would develop again from some "exe" file. And I was sure I was hearing it say "you can tell my arms to go back to the farm and you can tell my feet to hit the floor...."in a very evil taunting kind of way. The only "insurance" it had on it was the Nortons and the bug knocked it out first. What do you when your first line of defense disappears? You get real mad. Anyway, about one day later and a lot of starts and restarts. I finally got it. Along with a host of other things inside my system and registry that I never knew was there. Quite the operation. I think the last thing I heard it say was "...tell my fingertips they won't be reaching out for you no more...." Then it was gone flushed into cyberspace to other virus family members that had passed on before it had. Now everything is back to normal. But, it is almost midnight and a new day is coming.......
