It is important to set reasonable goals in life.

For example, my child could grow up to be chief justice of the Supreme Court.

That particular train has left my station, though. My sloth, apathy and ignorance have eliminated many paths that were heretofore available in my life.

But, there are still many paths available for me.

The key, as I emphasized in the opening sentence, is to have reasonable goals.

I, being reasonable, therefore do not aspire to be a noble statesman, philathropic business mogul, or idolized pop star, as these are not reasonable goals for me.

I aspire to be like RC, and make fantastic comic strips. Am I there yet?

OK, so I got a new job (finally, a job that doesn’t crush the very essence of my soul) and, therefore, with it, a new computer on which to execute my daily tasks. But, I convinced my new boss that a Macintosh computer would be able to do everything I needed to do, and would make me very happy, so he agreed to get one for me.

I now get to use a new Intel-powered iMac. Nice. Very nice.

Included with new Macs is an application called “Comic Life.” This software does for comic strips what the word processor did to the typewriter.

All new macs come with a built-in camera.

Now, combine all of these statements, and you get this.
