Backup
time during the rush season
[DEC.
5, 2000] With
community pre-Christmas activities going full speed ahead, my thoughts
focused on backing up. It wasn't that I expected to go back in time,
although I wouldn't mind having a couple of extra weeks to finish what I’d
like to do between now and the end of the year. In the midst of the rush,
my attention was diverted to things that aren't in a hurry, to things that
simply stop working. For once I had enough backups that it didn’t feel
like a crisis.
