“George has got his drug test Monday,” Mrs. Florene told me. “Has he seemed to act okay to you?”
“He seems fine” I replied. “My old supervisor is ecstatic with the job George is doing. “
“He just came in from walking a long time the other night and his eyes looked weird,” Mrs. Florene said.
“I am sure it was nothing,” I replied trying to assuage Mrs. Florene’s worries. “What is his parole officer like?”
“He is a she actually,” Mrs. Florene told me. “She does double duty as a court appointed lawyer and the parole officer for the town.
“Ah, a small town,” I remarked in my mind. “The resources are scarce. “
I assured Mrs. Florene nothing was wrong as I could easily tell if George has been taking something.
A, B, G, or N?
“A, B, G, or N?” Dad asked me yesterday standing in front of the wireless routers at my place of employment.
“N is the latest wireless standard that will work with your iPad,” I told my father. “It also has the highest signal strength and longest reach.”
Yes, Charlie bought dad an iPad yesterday. I felt odd being at work in the middle of the day afraid they would put me to work. I still hadn't slept for the day.
Dad and I headed home to get his wireless Internet access set up at their house.
“You don’t need the manual to do this?” dad asked.
“Oh, I’ve set up dozens of routers,” I replied.
I then told dad to pick up his iPad and turn it on and it would automatically ask him to join his home network,
“That is just so neat,” dad said smiling as Google popped up on the screen.
“Now, I won’t have to fight your mother for internet access,” dad said facetiously with a furious grin.
“Oh, I know,” I facetiously replied. “You have to fight her all the time to get on Wikipedia.“
Yes, we were being very bad yesterday morning. Mom still shows little interest in getting on the Internet.

I so hope you are right about George, I just hate to see his mother's heart broken again. I'm glad he's doing well at the job, that's a great start! He is so blessed to have a friend like you! I wish I lived close enough to utilize your techie expertise when I encounter problems. I get frustrated so easily when I don't understand things!
That dialogue between you and your dad is hilarious.
Glad that your dad is going with Apple. Hope you are right about George.
The town you live in must be REALLY small. The probation office I work in is in a small county next to the one I live in. We have 12 officers and none of them double as the public defender. It's only really busy on reporting week which it the 1st through the 5th of each month. Everyone has to show up sometime in those 5 days. At first it was kind of depressing to me working there, but I have lots of interesting stories to tell now and the work is not hard (which is probably why the pay sucks)and I have good benefits or at least I will on the 1st of next month.
