VIRTUAL PARTY ([email protected]) - Peter, Paul & Mary
It's 11 o'clock in the evening - I'm barefoot - And I'm logged-on to the INTERNET. I usually pickup my e-mail in the afternoon But on weekends sometimes I forget... I yell down the hall to the bedroom, "Honey, I'll be right there..." She says "that's ok, dear, I got a brand new book here and I'm not going anywhere". A funny thing about a couple when a couple of years've gone by. You don't talk; you think you know each other so well you don't have to try... you take for granted what you used to call enchanted just a while ago... ah..when does a mystery turn into history? I don't know... Anyway, I got another meg of data coming down the line; A Wall Street profile...spreadsheet from a friend of mine... Up on the screen pops a little green box says 'click on me'. Somewhere I swear Alice in Wonderland's callin'... I look up at the clock (not as late as I thought: only quarter to one). Download's finished, I could take five minutes and have me some fun. The invitation's from a web location in Hong Kong. It's already started, this virtual party runs all night long! I say all night? We're invited to a virtual party tonight...(you try it) You're invited to a virtual party tonight... There's computers in the microwave, computers in the automobile, computers in the phone. Oh and even my wife who used to tell me to 'get a life' has got a computer of her own. I spend so much time saving time I can't find any time to spend ... I've taped sixteen episodes of "Star Trek" but when am I gonna show them?! It's un-believable, must be sixty, seventy people
