Michael: I can’t help it. Your 3:05pm comment reminds me of a skit from last weekend’s MadTV (probably a rerun). It featured “Oprah’s Doctor Phil Housecalls” and the first couple he “counseled” involved a singularly unattractive man married to a gorgeous but dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks model-type woman. The man was complaining, and Oprah’s Dr Phil said to him, “You’re living every man’s dream. You’ve found a beautiful stupid woman!”

I admit, my biggest problem with bigamy or polygamy is that I can’t even keep one woman happy all the time, and my wife isn’t nearly the problem personality that Rachel would be. Compulsive behavior runs in my family, I think I could handle that much.

And blondes “aren’t my type.”

On XP: A driver is a specific type of software related to a physical device, like a video card, sound card, network card, etc. Safe mode loads only very basic drivers that don’t enable the advanced features of those devices. If you run Windows Update, does it suggest any more recent drivers for your hardware?

Matthew: I will respond, but I’m buried in geek stuff today, so I can’t think theologically too clearly right now. I’ll try later.
