Taking a shortcut through the cemetery that Carlton rode to on his bike everyday. And what was in my path? A big hawk feather. Intellectually, I know it was just chance. But, a tiny part of me hopes that it is a little “howdy” greeting from Carlton.
I decided not to do the things that Carlton and usually did on Memorial day weekend. I just had a regular Saturday. Took a big load of stuff to the Goodwill. Went for a couple of walks. Had breakfast at Starbucks. Made a real food lunch. Took a nap.
And, I am listening to a fun “old” fantasy – Tea With the Black Dragon by R.A. MacAvoy. The story is OK, what is fun is all of the early 1980’s computer technology woven into the story. Those where the glory days of homebrew computers. There have been several references to that fine old publication Dr. Dobb’s Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia. 8080 processors and bootstrap routines also appear. And that old Game of Life. You can read about the game on Dr Dobbs website. Check it out.
