Fletch Won

Posted in Life at 8:40 am by Fletcher

This is the 1st (chronologically) in the series of Fletch novels, a favorite of mine, and a powerful good luck charm. Every time I read this particular book, good things happen.

Case in point: after 2 months of struggling with it- I fixed Jonathan’s computer. One of the things that I appreciate about the man is that our brains work in such a similar manner that it is almost frightening. So it was no surprise that we exhausted every logical problem, almost lockstep in tandem, when just as the idea popped into my head, he said, “Let’s open the thing up, see if its full of dust and cat hair…’ (he has 3 of them)

Once we dusted it, I decided to check the connections, just in case… And there it was: one of the USB headers was slightly askew. Once I popped it back into place and fired it up, all of the problems mysteriously vanished into the aether…

So after multiple high-fives, hugs and expletatives, I let him get reaquainted with his old friend, namely editing video- as he explained my next project: a 15 second black and white animation done in the 50’s deco - tiki style. He then called up the pub, told them to hook a brother up and sent me there to celebrate in grand style.

When I got there, I ran into Tiffany, who had just been given a promotion, so we lauded each other, feeling good that for once things were looking like they were looking up…
