Here, it begins.

So, today began with half a pot of rich, dark coffee (brewed) to set me up for the challenge of a cannibalization/re-build project on two of the house's computers. The sprouts circled me like bright-eyed wagons with their spoonfuls of flax raisin bran & soy milk, and watched quietly as I dug in with my trusty q-tips, phillips-head and fingernails. "Its like a super small city!", the youngest, my whip-smart "Li'l Epic", remarked, pointing out the tiny streets and office buildings and parks and farmland and airports of the PC's electronic innards.

Several hours and a few much-needed playtime breaks later, my family's new rig is up and humming quietly on the living room table, its green lights on steady. I do believe that this here blog idea may have some merit, and the impending school year could very well see a pleasant inundation of geek-flavored learnings headed our way. Here's to starting fresh in all the right ways, eh? Talk at ya soon-ish.

Nunc est bibendum.
