On with the Countdown!

You have probably noticed the countdown clock on the right side of my blog.  It is counting down to the planned time of our wedding, and I am very excited for it to reach zero.  

Favorite Companion

You all may be wondering why Kelly and I call each other "favorite companion."  The term of endearment came from when we were dating.  Specifically, we were discussing how to introduce each other, and we did not like the words boyfriend and girlfriend but could not think of any accurate substitutes.  

To solve this dilemma, I looked girlfriend up in my dictionary (Webster's Third Unabridged) and found it defined as "the favorite female companion of a boy or man."  The definition of boyfriend also contains the construction "favorite companion."  We both liked it so much that we started using it for each other and still use it alongside of finacé and fiancée.

Computer Problems Resolved

My computer is back from the service center clean and fully functional again. I needed to make one more phone call before I could restore the system from a backed-up state, and now it is working just as it was before I removed the Linux partition.

Thanks to God, James, UPS, and the technicians at Lenovo/IBM.
