However, back in the days when I was a novice computer user, I got a shocking e-mail from an Argentinian man with my same surname. He did a genealogy search and found me. It turned out we were distant relatives through my grandfather and his great grandfather, and after a year of daily back & forth messages, I invited him to Miami. He marveled at the luxury and lifestyle and loved the opulence at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach.

It has taken a long time, but I believe I have finally tamed this wild animal called a computer. I think I have solved a million problems, came close to trashing it, and yet always enamored with it.

So, the love affair goes onward!
