If I knew I had only one year to live…

If I knew that I had only one year to live, I’d spend it on the phone helping my father-in-law with his computer.

First, it would make one year feel like five.  Maybe ten.

And second, as the end of the year approached, I would be ecstatic.

Typical exchange:

Me:  Okay, now hit the “Enter” key.

Father-in-Law:  What key?

Me:  The “Enter” key.

FIL:  What?

Me:  You know, the “Enter” key!  The key with the bent arrow!  I’m sure you have one on your keyboard!

FIL (after a pause):  No, I don’t.

What makes it really sad is that my father-in-law is a retired engineer.

    Any chance he has a Mac keyboard? I’m using one right now, and there is not a bent arrow on the “enter” key, the “return” key, or any other key.
