Reckless
I was listening to a tech podcast earlier discussing the defective mute button issue on the iPhone. It’s bumming out a lot of people, and the Mac store is letting you swap out the bad one for a shiny new one.
It got me thinking about my own history, and how amazingly charmed my life has been.
I have never bought a defective gadget; I have never lost luggage at the airport; I have never been detained at customs; I have never broken a bone.
I am gadget obsessed so I have a lot; I have thousands of air miles clocked; I’ve lived overseas more than once, more than twice, actually; and I’ve been um, let’s say, reckless.
Why I am writing this, is to prove my total lack of superstition. I am not afraid my new netbook is going to blue-screen, and I feel confident that if I break a bone it won’t be because of this post.
But I’m also writing it to acknowledge how grateful I am to be having such a recklessly fortunate life.
