GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Wednesday, December 01, 2010

She didn't mean to do it. I know she didn't. My darling wife would never do anything that cruel.

I had poured all my emotions into it. I had chosen my words well. I had closure.

Yesterday was the morning after and although I have never been drunk I had a hang over and was trying to sober up.

The Arizona Cardinals had gone down to defeat being beaten in every way possible. They would have looked like a bunch of clowns running around on the field accept they were dressed in black and clowns don't usually wear black.

By late afternoon I had started to climb out of my disgust and depression and I wrote this brilliant piece about how we learn great lessons from our failures. 

I had asked Charlotte to read it and then post it for me. She read it. Declared it "good" and then
it happened.

P O O F!

IT WAS GONE!

She was trying to take away some extra space at the bottom of the page, hit the delete button and POOF, IT WAS GONE, ALL OF IT!

No, I didn't cry. I didn't get mad (Which for me is a miracle). I took Charlotte out to dinner.

I learned a lesson from failure: Don't be too hard on the Cardinals. They did have 13 yards of rushing to show for their "efforts." I didn't have anything but a blank page.

It's not my fault, Connie. I blame Blogger. LOL Deleting that space shouldn't have deleted everything. I WILL be more careful from now on though.
