Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today? JOE: Still a little vexed from yesterday. CALLIOPE: On what account? JOE: My backup computer caught a virus which took me a while to erase. CALLIOPE: Where did it come from? JOE: Strangely enough it seemed to be living in an anti-spyware program I downloaded. CALLIOPE: Odd. But now it's fixed? JOE: Seems to be. My main computer should be back shortly, but I have spent an inordinate amount of time on technology lately. CALLIOPE: Have you had time to do anything else? JOE: I painted yesterday (Cape Neddick Lighthouse, Maine) as well as doing some weeding of my apartment. CALLIOPE: What have you found? JOE: Old files I no longer need, clothes I don't wear any more and books. CALLIOPE: Is it hard to let go of books? JOE: That's the most difficult part for me. I have quite a collection of writing related books which I think I will keep as well as some of my favorite fiction which I keep for sentimental reasons. I could always borrow the fiction books from the library if I need them again. Still it's hard to let them go. Talk with you tomorrow. |
