Supernatural Experiences
Have you ever had any supernatural experiences? In Morocco, I had three in the space of two weeks:
1) My husband opened the oven door and pulled out the wire rack, which had a lasagna sitting on it. He did not move the lasagna; it was still sitting squarely on the rack. He then turned away to grab another oven mitt, and the lasagna fell off the wire rack and shattered at his feet.
2) A glass, which had been sitting about 6 inches from the edge of the counter, spontaneously fell on the floor and shattered.
3) As I walked by the interphone, someone buzzed and the thing leapt off the wall and swung out to its full extension right in front of my face. If my husband hadn’t been sitting right there, he would never have believed that it happened.
What about you?
Don’t miss “Cars”!
I saw Pixar’s latest animated film, Cars, on Friday. It was wonderful! Funny and cute and clever… those guys never cease to amaze me. I love how these animated films can be rated G and yet have adult jokes hidden in plain sight. Has anyone else seen it yet?

Computer Problems, part 3
A third computer problem is lack of malware protection. Malware basically means bad software, and includes adware, spyware, and more. An anti-virus program is usually not enough to protect against malware; you need a firewall and/or malware protection. Fortunately, there are numerous programs that are both effective and reasonably-price (or free). I use these three on my computers, because I haven’t yet found a single program that offers 100% comprehensive coverage. Run the scans at least once a week and your computer will be in great shape.
