She's A Geek

Now I've gone and done it, I think. I've gone and made a geek of her.

That PDA she got for Christmas made her twitch in the passenger seat next to me as we drove across the ice-covered midsection of Arkansas. She was unable to conceal the thrill of an electronic to-do list.

And the laptop, oh the laptop. Two days later, she emerges from a marathon Quicken session. Our finances firmly in order. 2004 neatly tied up and archived.

So why is she wanting me to take a shower just now? Why does she want this computer, for heavens sake? Is a new Palm not enough? Is an iBook not enough? Must she sit in this seat, too!?

Oh. Her mail is still here.

Doh!
