Today's post (which shares its title with Chapter 11 of Lewis Carroll's incredible work, "Through the Looking-Glass," which reads in its entirety, "--and it really WAS a kitten, after all.") has no significance or deep implication that I'm aware of, except maybe that it's time for me to consider either replacing my eight-year-old Windows computer or getting a Mac.
I have a great little program that plays whatever MP3 I choose as an alarm every morning (today I think I had it set for Andy Williams' It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year -- I'm allowed to do Christmas until January 1, I think). However, instead of a blaring MP3 waking me up, Jesse the Cat did so by knocking something off of the dresser beside my bed. You see, on the mornings I don't get out of bed at the usual time, like, oh, Saturdays, Jesse the Cat is faithful and diligent to let me know that I should already be up and about.
So ends my love affair with the "automatically-updating" clock in Windows XP. Actually, such a love affair never began. This assures that it never will.

Do I need to give you Dawson's marvel heroes clock? He doesn't use it anymore,and it's much cheaper than a mac.
I am wondering why the caramel syrup was by your computer?
Actually, there's an old Spider-Man clock in my son's closet. I could use it, but the knob you use to set it is broken off. I guess that'd be no different from the computer.
Jan, the caramel topping is on my nightstand because I eat chocolate chip ice cream with caramel topping at night. I've found that "refrigerate after opening" on the caramel topping is really just a suggestion. I've not died yet.
The computer, however, is on the other side of the room. It works well because I have to get up in order to turn it off. Otherwise I'd just reach over and turn it off.
