These Are the Days of Miracle and Wonder

I am a little over a month into life with a new computer. I got it before we took the Wolvog to college so he could set it up for me. He took my old laptop, placed it next to my new one, and set up some fancy tool that transferred all of the old laptop’s bookmarks, documents, and settings to the new machine. After an hour or two, he handed me my new computer, and it was exactly the same as the old machine except that the keyboard worked and the battery held a charge.

I hate change, so while this tool may be commonplace for most people, it was the most miraculous invention I’ve ever witnessed. I felt like Paul Simon singing about lasers in the jungle, “staccato signals of constant information.” Except it was happening in my living room.

These really are the days of miracle and wonder.
