Peter Breck, funny, Nick Barkley died. Does anyone remember him? He was 82 almost 83.
I laugh and laugh at his Big Valley explosions.

He is as precious to me as Crowe is to Ann.

As we age, those not so far ahead of us multiply.

I remember Nick. Peter Breck was about the same age as this guy, who is still living:
Nick Barkley Clu%20Gulager-ALO-095633

The man's name is Clu Gulager, but during the mid-60's, he looked more like this:
Nick Barkley L

That particular persona was called Emmett Ryker, the deputy/sheriff of Medicine Bow, Wyoming, according to The Virginian TV series (one of the few shows I liked more than The Big Valley - mostly because of Sheriff Ryker - who looks, sounds, and acts like a guy name Jake Holder, for those of you who might have been reading the Redstone Stories). He was a precious to me then as Crowe is now Very Happy

And, BTW, I am most proud of myself. I managed to do all of the work for the above post, using my new little shell pink (far right) netbook:

and this:

Change is difficult. Why do newer models have to put all the old tasks in new places and formats?
But I am adapting. I like this dainty (7"x10") little lady very much, I think.

I loved my netbook - iPad, ereader, everthing in one. Use a wi-fi mouse. I now have carpel tunnel thumb due to using that touch pad so much. The pain is excruciating when I move my thumb wrong and fixing it will be a problem. I had to move back to the pc with a standard keyboard and wi-fi large mouse. The larger movements are tolerated better.

My netbook was my constant companion. Congrats on yours.

So far, the keyboard is easier on my arthritis, and the mouse pad seems much easier to use than the one on my old laptop. Time will tell, I guess. The ads for this one indicated they had been working on the complaints.
