Lee has spent a considerable (and considerate) amount of time setting up the computer IN MY OFFICE for me. AHAHAHAHAHA! I can’t tell you how good this feels, how nerve-wrackingly good. I had been trying to pick out the perfect desk, but I abandoned that plan in favor of a cheap-ass-but-for-all-practical-purposes-perfect desk. The room is …
